Victor Boudreau under fire again

Health Minister Victor Boudreau was under fire in the legislature yesterday by Opposition Leader Blaine Higgs over a proposed campground at  Parlee Beach. Boudreau has shares in the development.

Higgs want to know why the property assessment for that land was cut almost in half this year while other campgrounds in the area saw their assessments rise…some substantially.

Attorney General Serge Rousselle evetually took Higgs’ questions by saying there’s a difference between the value of an undeveloped piece of land and a fully functioning campground…but added he couldn’t talk specifics.

Norovirus spreading in NB

Norovirus is spreading in the province and the government has issued a warning for residents to take precautions to prevent its spread, including washing your hands frequently.

Acting chief medical officer of health, Dr. Jennifer Russell, says norovirus can be very unpleasant for a healthy person…but for those with weakened immune systems, it can cause serious illness.

The virus is easily spread so those with symptoms of nausea, vomiting and diarhea should stay home.
