Mayor Mel Norton vows Saint John will not be the gorilla in the room as more regionalisation of local government is taking shape with meetings of the interim boards of the Regional Service Commissions.
One such meeting being held today at City Hall to talk about a draft budget for the commission covering the Saint John region.
Norton tells CHSJ News he doesn’t see any problem with all the communities in the Saint John area working together to make the region stronger because the other Mayors realize the city has to be doing well for the region, as a whole, to do well.
The Mayor acknowledges Saint John will have a lot of influence on what’s decided because of its population which will affect the outcome of votes.
