A judge is expected to appoint an arbitrator for the towns of Quispamsis and Rothesay this month. This after the two can't find any middle ground on the hiring of a new fire-fighter by Quispam with Rothesay indicating the fire budget needs to be cut by $100,000 dollars. Mayor Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ News, they are still waiting to hear from their neighbours.
Driscoll adds he remains hopeful this issue can be resolved with-out going through the entire arbitration process. Currently, there are four fire-fighters working at Station One and Quispamsis is looking for the same number of bodies at the station within it's town limits.
