| Abstract: | We may be dealing with water constraints in the region, but our regional government certainly doesn't appear to have any financial constraints. With the taps on the fountain of money still flowing freely, regional council voted last week to assume control of the previously volunteer-run tiny home encampment called A Better Tent City. The decision will cost local residents more than $8 million, almost $6 million of which will be annual operating funding. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER] |
