Rothesay Mayor Says Playground Project Could Be Faster

Not a penny more than 100 thousand dollars........That, from Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop on how much the town is prepared to pay for a new playground at Rothesay Elementary School.

The mayor isn't happy with the town managing the project and the school district handling the money because of the delay in getting things done because final decisionmaking lies with the provincial Education Department.

Bishop admits there is a financial advantage because the school district doesn't hav e to pay H-S-T whereas the town does.
