City Councillor Takes Premier to Task

Premier Dalton McGuinty's ears might be burning these days.

Councillor Sharon Smith took the premier to task this week for refusing to include an infrastructure program in the upcoming provincial government.

Smith says the time is ripe for government's to be spending money on public projects.

Smith was commenting on McGuinty's speech at the Ontario Good Roads Conference last month, where he told municipal leaders the government was going to focus on skills and education and sacrifice the infrastructure fund.
