Boundary Expansion Meeting Hears Pulp Mill Tax Split Debate
Barb Shirley notes concern over sharing taxes from the Louisiana Pacific Pulp Mill between Dawson Creek and Chetwynd. Ministry suggestions set a 60 percent to Chetwynd and 40 percent to Dawson Creek split. Dawson Creek may absorb the mill if Chetwynd does not, placing the facility in one municipality. Our council favors including the Chetwynd Pulp Mill in expansion despite terms. Tidbit congratulates Gloria's daughter on a win and wishes birthdays to J and A.
