District of 100 Mile House Mayor Mitch Campsall takes exception to comments made by Community, sport and Cultural Development Minister Ida Chong who wrote an editorial stating municipal governments should be thinking about cutting costs in their operational budgets.

However, Campsall said the minister is dreaming.
