Rothesay Mayor Will Not Rule Out Amalgamation

Amalgamation between Rothesay and Quispamis is not out of the question.
Quispamsis Town Councillor Gerry Maher surprised the Mayor and Council by suggesting at last night's meeting that money be set aside in next year's budget to fund a study looking at the idea.
Rothesay Mayor Bill Bishop tells CHSJ News he has talked to Quispamsis Mayor Murray Driscoll on this.
Bishop says he and Driscoll both agree that is may be time to look at the situation but, it would have been better for both towns to sit and look at jointly funding a study.


Bishop says the idea will not be on the agenda for next week's meeting of Rothesay council but, he says it could go on before the end of the year.
