Common Council is looking to restructure the city’s boards, agencies and commissions with the possible elimination of some and merger of others to make them more efficient and effective.
Common Councillor Susan Fullerton is proposing something else……..That all appointees to these board, commissions and agencies have a criminal background check as means of protecting the public and the city.
Meantime, Deputy Mayor Shelley Rinehart is calling for Common Council to get behind the effort by the Saint John Hotel Association to have NB Liquor set up what’s called a boutique liquor store in the uptown.
The lack of a liquor store in the uptown is viewed as being bad for tourism. The closest liquor store to the uptown is at Prince Edward Square.
