MP Casey surprised at controversy caused by budget
The Truro Daily News
TRURO – Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MP Bill Casey feels the 2007 federal budget is a boon for his riding.
“I have never seen a budget that has had more in it for the people of my riding than this one does,” Casey said from his Ottawa office, yesterday.
He said benefits can be easily pinpointed throughout the budget for the high population of seniors, working families with children and low-income families in his riding.
Casey was surprised by the controversy caused by the federal budget because it provides extra funding for health, infrastructure, and post-secondary education through equalization payments and other programs.
