The provincial NDP on the city's south side is still not ready to select a candidate to take on Bill Mauro in the next election. Robin Rickards of the Thunder Bay-Atikokan Riding Association says there are currently two candidates in the running, school board trustee George Saarinen and Mary Kozorys. Rickards says two are waiting to be vetted by provincial party officials. Until that happens, no date can be set for a nomination meeting.
