The first person out of the gate seeking a seat on Common Council has released a comparision of what it costs to provide police and fire services in Prince George B-C as opposed to Saint John.
John Campbell chose Prince George because he tells CHSJ News the two cities are similar in population, age and makeup.
He found the fire service to be ten million dollars less costly in Prince George. It must be pointed out Saint John does have an oil refinery and L-N-G terminal which Prince George doesn't have.
Campbell says policing costs were far less in Prince George, as well, where they use the RCMP.
