DARTMOUTH, N.S. --
There is no secret that development has been on the rise for years in Halifax, as evidenced by the many cranes visible across the city skyline.
But former Dartmouth mayor and Halifax city councillor Gloria McCluskey thinks that development, and taxpayers' dollars, are being too heavily focused on the Halifax side of the peninsula.
"$63 million library, $16.2 million pool, $80 million for the Halifax Forum," says McCluskey. "A lot of tax dollars coming from Dartmouth."
McCluskey says business parks in Burnside and Dartmouth Crossing generate a lot of tax revenue for the city, and Dartmouth isn't seeing their fair share of development.
