The mayor of Grand Bay-Westfield sees no benefit in having Dr. Jim Parrot as an independent MLA.
Mayor Grace Loiser tells CHSJ news Parrot’s ousting from the Conservatives isn’t a surprise. She says in New Brunswick politics you either play on the team or by yourself, which is what happened to Dr. Parrot.
Loiser admits there’s no doubt having a member of government on your side makes life easier, but this is an opportunity to build new bridges. She says the Grand Bay-Westfield area supported the Conservatives in the past election, so she hopes they’ll still support them back.
