Summary
Budget season rolled on last week as councillors started debating the operational budgets of the city's various business units. Before getting into that host Matt Stickland gives a dire warning about the city's fiscal future. After the ad break, Matt recaps the Board of Police Commissioners passion for violence, and also two days of budget committee meetings. If you are a subscriber and notice this episode is about 6 minutes longer, you can hear the new stuff at the 30 minute mark. As always, a reminder about the book club meeting on March 1 at 2:30 at Celtic Corner in Dartmouth. Please email matt(at)GrandParade(dot)news if you are planning to attend. I won't hold you to it, just trying to get an idea of numbers. See you next week when we talk about the bus.
