MLA Herb Cox reacts to the provincial budget
The annual provincial budget brought changes both positive and negative for the city of North Battleford.
While the city will increase its municipal revenue share to $3.03 million, there will be a funding cut for the Battleford River Valley Park.
MLA Herb Cox said the cutting of the park’s provincial funding was one of the many difficult decisions which had to be made.
“We looked at a lot of programs and that was one which unfortunately we thought would drop,” Cox said. “We know it might mean something to the cities and towns, but hopefully there are funds in some of the other programs.”
