Premier Shawn Graham is standing by his decision to not accept an offer from Ottawa that would partially pay for refurbishing the Harbour Bridge despite opposition leader David Alward's criticism. Under the offer the province would have to assume the costs of maintaining the bridge.
Graham says his goverment has chosen to align itself with provincial taxpayers instead. The Premier maintains it is a federal bridge and should be a federal responsibility. Alward calls the offer from the Harper Government a good one and accuses the Graham Government of punishing Saint Johnners.
