SENATORS RECEIVE 75% TAX BREAK; WILL THIS HELP SAVE TEAM?

          The Kanata, Ontario, City Council last night "made a
     last-minute" vote to give the Senators a 75% "tax break" at
     the Corel Centre, according to Harris & Philips of the
     OTTAWA SUN, who report that Kanata "will still take in"
     C$112,000 with the "tax reduction."  Senators Chair Rod
     Bryden, who was earlier "disappointed" when the Council did
     not vote for a complete tax break, called the 75% "positive
     and very meaningful."  The Corel Centre is "paying about"
     C$4.5M in property taxes this year, with the province and
     region "collecting about" C$2M each.  The province has said
     that it will "match" property-tax breaks from the region and
     the city of Kanata (OTTAWA SUN, 11/24).
