The Opposition education critic is hearing of wrinkles in government attempts to secure land for the new high school in Paradise. Not only that, but Topsail-Paradise MHA Paul Dinn says he is being inundated with calls from residents who are trying to get information on where the project stands.

Government allocated $50,000 in last year’s budget to get things rolling, but Dinn jokingly calls that “hush money” as nothing is rolling at all.

He says one land developer has identified suitable locations and has tried to engage with the town and provincial government, but no progress has been made.
