The Provincial Government has announced the unconditional grants municipalities around the province will be receiving next year are being cut by one per cent.
Saint John will get over 19.3 million dollars which represents a cut of almost 200 thousand dollars from last year.
Mayor Ivan Court is not surprised but tells CHSJ News it will make it that much harder to hold the tax line. He also isn't sure what effect the 3 per cent freeze on property tax assessments will have on the city's bottom line.
The provincial government is granting more than 831 thousand dollars to Quispamsis.....Rothesay will receive 413 thousand with over 381 thousand dollars for Grand Bay-Westfield.
