Jul 13, 2009. /Lesprom Network/. West Fraser Timber has started proceedings to challenge the tax rate their Eurocan linerboard and kraft paper operations are charged by the District of Kitimat, as reported by ForestTalk. Dennis Clare, manager of the Eurocan operation, commented: "We have commenced legal proceedings in order to preserve our right to formally challenge the municipal tax increase that we believe is unreasonable. However, we have paid the taxes as assessed and hope to continue to work with District Council to achieve a fair and reasonable outcome. We believe that Kitimat understands our position and is committed to resolving this issue."
