FALL RIVER, N.S. When Jeremy Cayea got the bill from the city totaling more than $9,600 earlier this week, he couldn t believe it. On top of that, the bill, which is supposed to be paid by Aug. 27, if you can t afford to pay the ten grand all up front, he says, they put you on a payment plan with interest. According to the Guideline for Payments sent to him by the city, that interest – with payments until Aug. 27 of 2040, would cost him another $4,062. That interest, says the document, is 4.45 per cent per year, calculated on the principal and applied daily.

Changes to a Halifax Transit bus route will go ahead despite some last-minute opposition from a local councillor and residents who say a bus doesn t belong in their neighbourhood.
Starting in November, route 55 in Dartmouth will be extended to include stops at Mic Mac Mall, Alderney Landing and the bridge terminal.
A portion of the route along Waverley Road will be discontinued, and the bus will travel through the Craigburn Drive subdivision.
Close to a dozen people who live in the neighbourhood made presentations to Halifax regional council on Wednesday, arguing they were not properly consulted.
