TBNewsWatch
71Is administration not listening? The Miles Strert location for a homelless village will due more harm to struggling businesses and many residents who live and pay taxes in thec south core.

If administration wants a homeless village they must find a location that won't harm the business community and cause more businesses to close.

Miles Street site 'most viable' for shelter village, city staff says
TBNewsWatch 47Nohing has changed. This location is detrimental to residents and businesses in the area who contribute greatly to the city's fragile economy. Helping the homeless should not be at the expense of those who live and work in this downtown location. That is why this location was voted down by council. They heard loud and clear from these taxpayers who are just trying to live and earn a living in this area and contribute to the city's well being.'

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?
