Memramcook-Tantramar MLA Megan Mitton is running for the Greens this October in the newly redrawn riding of Tantramar.
Mitton spoke to reporters on Thursday after a Sierra Club of Canada event in Sackville, and responded to claims by Liberal candidate John Higham that an MLA in a government seat would have better luck with infrastructure projects than an opposition MLA.
“I don’t think it should depend who your MLA is and what party they’re in,” said Mitton, “that your community gets what it needs. I think that’s basically advocating for corruption in government.”
Mitton also talked about the Green Party’s plans for the election, her thoughts on running against former Sackville town council colleague John Higham, and the potential for the Greens to hold the balance of power in a minority seat distribution after the election.
