A10 - The Terrace Standard, Wednesday, May 13, 1998 News In Brief Costly information THE PROVIWCE’S information and privacy com- missioner is worried that budget cuts will hurt the ability of people to get information. David Flaherty says freedom of information officials arc being scaled back and fees are tising for people who file freedom of information requests. ‘Access to government records must be a right of Citizens and not simply perceived as a gift from a pass- ing leadership or 4 particular political party,”’ said Flaherty. He’s also angry that the cuts and fees come at a time when freedom of information legislation is being reviewed by a legislative committee. “The public has been led to believe that it will be heard before any significant changes will be made to the administration of the act,’’ said Flaherty. Cops get raises RCMP OFFICERS here and across the country got a raise, April 1, but it wasn’t for as much as they had hdped. The Mounties will get a 3.75 per cent raise over three increments this year. The first was two per cent retroaclive to Jan, 1. The second was one per ceit, starling April 1, while the remaining will go into effect in Oct. RCMP were hoping for a 7.8 per cent pay raise, which would have made them the fourth-highest paid police force in the country. Inspector Steve Leach says that negotialions are still underway which could lead to more raises over the next two years. Before the raises took effect, RCMP were at the bot- tom of the pay scale for police officers, wilh constable salaries topping out al $50,508. Their pay, as had been the case with other federal civil servants, has been frozen since the early 1990s. Stolen goods tracked THE CITY is tightening the rules for second hand stores in an effort to give RCMP a better tool for tracking down stolen goods. City staff are preparing a business licence bylaw amendment that will require more specific recordkeeping of items received by second hand stores and pawnshops. Building inspector Paul Gipps said the current ward- ing is too loose, adding a store might record a ring as being received, but not indi- cate whether it was gold or silver or anything else, kakkk And, city conneil has given first readings to a bylaw that would ban slot machines and video lottery terminals within the city. It’s intended ta be a pre- emptive strike against any possible government move to expand casina gambling to existing bars and hotels in the wake of local govern- ments’ rejection of casinos here, Councillor Linda Hawes says the measure is particu- larly appropriate in light of government moves to change the way casinos fun- nel money to charities. - Diesel & 89 Octane Marine Fuel - Visa, Mastercard, Interac Accepted ¢+ Join CFTK MIX 590 on Location 10 am - 2 pm.
