The mayor of Quispamsis is playing it safe when it comes to responding to the province's proposed sale of NB Power assets to Hydro-Quebec. Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ news there are pros and cons of the deal, including the elimination of a very large provincial debt.
Driscoll says power rates will likely go up over time, as they would normally, but he's not worried about a sudden spike after the five-year rate freeze under the deal is over.
