Not surprisingly, Thunder Bay MPP Bill Mauro is giving another ringing endorsement to his government's budget. He says there are several clear commitments to the north including the continuation of the northern electricity rate program and the 100 million dollar roads and bridges program which will benefit some of the small communities in his riding of Thunder Bay-Atikokan.
Mauro adds the Northern Ontario Heritage Fund will be kept at 100 million dollars for the next year.
