Mayor Norton Talks Budget & Snowplows

Mayor Mel Norton is hopeful the 2013 budget for Saint John will be passed at tonight's meeting of common council.

CHSJ News had a chance to speak with the Mayor at his first New Year's levee since taking office last Spring.
 

We asked for his assessment of the job the City did handling Sunday's record snowfall.

He says the City management will be in touch with City works department to check on the status of the equipment acknowledging that there have been difficulties with some of gear.

Norton said hard decisions in the past due to the pension problems mean the City has not made the strategic investments in plows, trucks and more.


He adds now the pension crisis is resolved they can now look at putting some money into snow clearing equipment.
