Quispamsis Town Council is looking at raising the tax rate by a penny, according to the Telegraph-Journal.

After slashing $850,000 from the proposed budget at its first meeting on the budget last week, the councillors have now voted to borrow $750,000 to pay for new roadwork. Staff is recommending a $1.68 million road resurfacing program for parts of 14 roads as well as the Qplex parking lot.

The Saint John chapter of 100 Women Who Care has donated $21,400 to its latest recipient.

A local has made its 15th donation…this time to the North End Food Bank. Each member of the group donates $100 then they listen to pitches from various charities and pick one to receive the money.
