Richmond County concerns

NDP Leader Gary Burril says he doesn’t believe the government has handled the issue around the donations made at a Liberal fundraiser in Richmond County honourably.  If there’s any ethical questions, the money should be returned.

His comments came after the dismissal of former Richmond County warden Steve Sampson from the Liberal caucus office.

CBVRSB report

The Education Minister will be appointing the new Chair of the Cape Breton-Victoria Regional School Board.

The members were sworn in yesterday at Sherwood Park Education Centre and voted to select a Chair.  But that vote ended in a tie twice between Lorne Green who has been the Chair for the last nine years.

After a second vote still ended in a tie, the rules say it’s up to the education minister Karen Casey to break it and choose the winner.
