Alberta government is asking rural municipalities to send letters naming oil and gas companies that aren’t paying property taxes.

Rural Municipalities of Alberta estimates companies owe more than $250 million in overdue property taxes to rural communities across the province.

Energy Minister Brian Jean sent letters to rural municipalities in September asking officials to name companies.

Municipal Affairs Minister Ric McIver says once the government gets those names, action can be taken against them.
