Due to the configuration of Municipal Governance in the Province (i.e. Taxation & Financing) the money basically comes from the same pool and the Province should be considering our local needs and priorities alongside their own. Additionally, there are other priorities on the Province's list that are more pressing. For example, flood prevention.
