Eddie Francis

Eddie Francis: He said there is really only one thing in the budget that benefits municipalities outside of Toronto. He noted the two-cents-per-litre litre share of provincial gas tax is now permanent. It amounts to about $3.6 million a year for Windsor, according to CBC. Specifically, Francis was looking for more economic development and job creation and Mayor Eddie Francis isn't impressed with the Ontario budget. "Most of the gas tax goes towards transit and roads and some infrastructure. We've depended on it for years. So the fact that they've made it permanent, they were really just following the federal lead," Francis said. "I was expecting more out of the budget. I thought they'd really come out with an election budget." (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
