Questioning of six council members heading to FCM conference

A Miramichi councillor is questioning six members going to a summer conference in Ottawa.  The Federation of Canadian Municipalities is holding meetings, with about $22,500 going to Mayor Adam Lordon, Deputy Mayor Brian King and four others’ attendance.
