Deputy Mayor Wants Job Cuts At City Hall

Deputy Mayor Stephen Chase says the city should go ahead and cut 100 jobs even if the province grants it pension reforms.

Chase tells CHSJ News the 9 million dollars earmarked for pension payments should still be used to pay off the pension deficit instead of being funneled back into the budget.

He says the city needs to really examine who it gives money to and look into contracting out certain services.
 
He says debt payments will continue to grow over the next few years so council needs to start preparing for it.
