Fletcher Addresses Funding Concerns

The head of the city's Disaster Relief Committee says it's not possible to give back money donated to victims of the May 28th flood.   Wayne Fletcher says even though the funding is not being matched at 2 to 1 by the province, returning any money is a non-starter. He says there have already been tax receipts issued and it would be impossible to return smaller cash donations. Meantime Fletcher says while the committee knew it was a possibility the province might not match donations 2 to 1, they never thought it was probable.
