Council Opposing Plans For Combined Health Unit

Staff photo Thunder Bay City Council is coming out against plans to reduce the number of health units in Ontario. Mayor Bill Mauro was one of five mayors to sign a letter to Premier Doug Ford opposing the idea, alongside the mayors of Sault Ste. Marie, North Bay, Sudbury, and Timmins. Monday night, Councillors voted to further endorse the letter and forward it to the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association, Thunder Bay Municipal League, and Federation of Northern Ontario Municipalities. Current River Councillor Andrew Foulds put the motion forward. “I think we have to come out swinging on this one,” Foulds says. “I mean, that’s how serious I think this is. This isn’t fooling around. I think Council needs to get behind this, and I think, frankly, we need to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our neighbouring municipalities.”

1 hr ago With only two committees left to weigh in on proposed state legislation that would reverse cruise ship restrictions in Key West, organizers are preparing last-ditch efforts to prevent the state from overseeing the city’s port. Josh Aubuchon, the lobbyist hired by the Key West Committee for Safer, Cleaner Ships, said the Senate Rules Committee and House Commerce Committee are the final two legislative stops before the bills go to the full floor for a vote. While all previous committee and subcommittee hearings have resulted in favorable votes for the proposed and increasingly-amended bills, Aubuchon said there is still a possibility the cruise ship legislation might get lost in the flurry of bills still left to be heard, effectively dying in committee. He said the Senate Rules Committee has 118 bills to get through in the next month before the legislative sessions ends. The House Commerce Committee’s docket has 48 bills remaining to be heard.
