So let me get this straight, the old building inspector leaves due to a wage freeze since 2006 where he made ~45k and you hire two new building inspectors to take his work load @ $61k and $55k plus add a by-law enforcement officer. Are the employees of the planning commision and the divisions being treated fairly?

I wonder how you include Public works project IE a Water Treatment Plant in the mix of construction value ? I know if Pictou County workers are so lucky to work on these projects that it will translate into Economic activity however in the case of the Renovations to the George St. Bridge a Dartmouth company is doing the work probably commuting to New Glasgow .
Also Taxpayer funded capital projects are basically on money borrowed against future generations Taxes. Thou we need Water Treatment plants Marina's , Theatres and sidewalk never make money as walking trails dont either . also there are not bare tax revenues from these Pyramid schemes. -

Hey Bob, wait until the towns start fighting over the funding of New Glasgow's birthchild the Pictou County Shared Service Authority! They don't want to pay for the existing shared service but now they're going to pay for an expanded one, go figure???
