City Delegation Meets With Minister

The meeting is over and now the waiting begins.  A Thunder Bay delegation, led by MPP Bill Mauro, met in Toronto this morning with energy Minister Chris Bentley to discuss the possible mothballing of the Mission Island power plant.  Mauro believes the minister heard city concerns loud and clear.  Mauro now wants to scrutinize the numbers from the Ontario Power Authority which claims the closure of the plant could save the province 400 million dollars in energy costs.
