Councillor Wants Funding Axed To Enterprise Saint John



Councillor Bruce Court raising concerns over funding Enterprise Saint John in a time when core city services are being slashed to the bone.



Court has been outspoken in the past about the continued funding of the economic development agency.


He is baffled at how the agency can continue to receive money when the city will not be able to afford lifegurards at beaches.


Court lobbied to have all funding cut to Enterprise Saint John last year but council decided against it after consultations with the group.

The group will be receiving 332-thousand dollars this year, 100-thousand dollars less than in 2011.
