City council approves request for proposals for turf facility
TBNewsWatch 41Council swallowed the hook line and sinker when Michael Venezaile president of soccer Northwest told council the facility could be built for under $20 million dollars and that he was going to raise $1 million dollars towards the cost.Now taxpayers are looking at over $52 million when approximately $10 million of interest on a $19 million dollar loan is included in the cost..Is it any wonder the city's debt is over $200 million dollars and the shortfall on maintaining existing infrastructure is over $30 million dollars each year.This irresponsible spending by council is the very reason the City of Thunder Bay has the highest taxes in Northern Ontario and the second highest in the entire province.Where's the plebiscite and what excuse does Michael Venezaille use now to avoid his promise to raise $1 million dollars?

Mayor addresses the state of the city
TBNewsWatch 35What the mayor failed to mention was the city's total debt of over 200,000 million and the $15 million dollars needed annually to service this debt. He also did not mention the city's high taxes and tax rates. (second highest in the entire province) Nor did he mention the city's inability to control spending and staffing levels. Finally he did not mention the fact that the public has no say on major expenditures like the $57 million dollar indoor turf facility. There should have been a plebiscite.
