He urges reform to allow MPs to vote on all expenditures, reducing the grip of party discipline and political risk.
The Town of Russell reports a 1996 budget review with aims of a 0 percent mill rate increase. Initiatives include extra funding for Pelly Trail School, Main Street treeing, a senior ball diamond, a second ball diamond, a recycling facility, and a Community Development Fund.

Local observers laud hands on enterprise training to create employers.
