County reeve and energy minister weigh in on budget
The County of Grande Prairie Reeve and MLA for Dunvegan Central Peace Notley are reacting following Thursday’s provincial budget.
The finance minister announced an increase funding for education, health and community services as well as more money to fight rural crime.
County Reeve Leanne Beaupre said she was happy to hear the announcement of more specialized crime-fighting units.
“And we have analysts looking to where the big crime is happening so they can target it better as well as using GPS to monitor and make sure they know where the crime is happening in the rural areas.”
