Mayor Not Supporting Tourism Proposal

Mayor Ivan Court is calling out to surrounding municipalities regarding this tourism proposal. Under the proposed singular group the city is asked to invest over a million dollars, while Grand Bay Westfield, Hampton, St. Martins, Rothesay, and Quispamsis are all asked to invest 25 hundred dollars. The city is also asked to give an additional 2.5 per cent on top of the original one million dollar investment, while the combined total from the Greater Saint John region is only 12 thousand-five hundred dollars. Court says other municipalities need to step up to the plate.

Court says our tax payers are asked to carry the region, and we are being asked to do everything for everyone, whether they work, live or play here. He says it's time for everyone to start doing their part.
