Commisso takes the blame

Tim Commisso says he takes full responsibility. The waterfront project has come in 8.6 million dollars over budget so far. The city manager says the 17 per cent increase is the result of a complex project and says the buck stops with him.  The city's share of the the overrun is about 4 million dollars. It will be taken from Phase 2 of the project. The rest will come from stimulus cash.  As well Commisso says he will become more involved in the project from now on.   Katherine Dugmore will retain her full responsibility as project manager.
