Well the old saying goes,,What comes around goes around so I hope he intends on putting a lot of miles on her before the next election because I'm quite sure his voting public are assuming their not going to get much from the truck or his personal friends getting jobs but NOTHING will be coming to them.
Guess the above poster doesn't read the paper. Looks like Tanker will go to the wall for his constituents to me. As for announcements I was happy to see a few announcements come a couple of weeks ago. Way to Tanker we're happy and proud for ya. Hope you will continue to keep representing us in Fredericton and you're making Miramichers proud.
Can't say I agree with all the shenanigans that have taken place over this issue but the speaker gets a vehicle. That's the way it is folks. AS you can probably guess by the comments above, people in his riding by and large love him. I'll be surprised if he doesn't win his seat, not because of his party, but because of his own personal popularity in his riding.
WATERVILLE -- Mayor Paul R. LePage on Tuesday night expressed outrage that city councilors in his absence two weeks ago voted to approve a three-year settlement with Irving Oil Co. without his knowledge. LePage directed his anger at City Administrator Michael J. Roy, whom he said placed the Irving item on the agenda for consideration at the April 18 council meeting without his or Council Chairman Dana W. Sennett's knowledge.
"The city administrator, without the mayor, made a policy decision and I think it's bad -- it's terrible," LePage said.
LePage made the comments after Tuesday's council meeting, at which LePage, in a surprise move, asked that councilors waive cloture and bring up an item that was not on the agenda.
The item turned out to be a request to reconsider a decision councilors made April 18 -- while LePage, Sennett and Councilor Donald N. Dufour, D-Ward 5, were on vacation -- to approve a three-year contract with Irving designed to give the city some of the oil owed it by the dealer, P.P.C.O.M.
Councilors voted 4-3 Tuesday night not to waive cloture to reconsider the Irving item, with Sennett, Dufour and Councilor Charles "Fred" Stubbert Jr., voting to waive cloture and councilors Henry Beck, D-Ward 2, Rosemary J. Winslow, D-Ward 3, Thomas R.W. Longstaff, D-Ward 6, and Stephen R. Aucoin, D-Ward 7, opposing the move.
P.P.C.O.M. is an Oakland oil dealer now in bankruptcy that owes more than $17 million to creditors who claim the company did not make good on payments or delivery of fuel, including heating oil, gasoline and diesel. Irving, P.P.C.O.M.'s supplier, is the largest creditor. Irving is proposing to split 160,000 gallons of heating oil between 12 creditors who hired an attorney to represent them. As part of the deal, the creditors are obliged to buy all their heating oil from Irving during the next three years.
