Voters in Quispamsis now have a better understanding of where their two mayoral candidates stand on a number of issues.
Gary Clark and Libby O’Hara took part in a mayoral forum Wednesday morning hosted by the Saint John Region Chamber.
The two candidates were asked questions on several topics, but it was amalgamation and regionalization which came up most often.
“At this point in time, I don’t think amalgamation is on the table. I don’t want to see it on the table. I want to see, right at this point in time, what we can do on a regional basis,” O’Hara said.
