Former provincial cabinet minister Mike Murphy, who’s running for the provincial Liberal leadership, says Saint John needs a fix.
Murphy tells CHSJ News that fix can come about with regionalisation if it’s done right so the city can get its hands on much needed revenue.
Murphy agrees with the city’s Finance Commissioner Greg Yeomans that depending on the property tax to raise enough money for municipal services just won’t be enough.
Murphy also says the 20 million dollars the province pays for the RCMP should get a second look because he tells CHSJ News there are rural areas not getting what they’re paying for.
