There are several issues the Rural Municipality of Portage la Prairie wants to be heard on at the upcoming Association of Mantioba Municipalities (AMM) meeting in November.

RM Deputy Reeve Roy Tufford says they want to talk with Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation as it deals with many areas like highways, bridges, waterways and the diversion.

"There's always ongoing questions to ask them and keep the pressure on them to try and do things for us," Tufford says.

Tufford adds the RM also wants to speak with Agassiz MLA Eileen Clarke over concerns about taxation rates, assessment portioning and infrastructure grants.

"There's no guarantee we'll be able to get that meeting at AMM," Tufford says. "Then we would probably ask her to come and meet with us."

The 18th annual AMM convention begins Nov. 21 in Winnipeg.
