There is a fear at City Hall that millions of dollars Saint John was to receive under the federal stimulus plan may go unspent and be clawed back by Ottawa. Mayor Ivan Court says municipalities across the country are asking the programme be expanded. The Mayor claims it was flawed from the start because it was to run for two years but took six months to get up and running. Court also says there should be a bit more flexibility in what the money is spent on as long as it benefits the city's infrastructure. He estimates more than 400 million dollars has been spent in the city.
