"Not worth the paper it is written on."" That comment has raised the blood pressure of MP Rodney Weston. Mayor Court is quoted in the newspaper as saying that about the proposal from Ottawa concerning the Harbour Bridge but Court tells CHSJ News, those are not his words.
Court says for the Province to take over a bridge that will have to be replaced somewhere down the road, there are still ongoing maintenance costs even if the tolls are removed. Court says he is thrilled repairs are getting started but expects there is some hard bargaining yet to come.
