Well well well ! the chickens have come home to roost. Yukon Territorial Government has no choice but to face all the decisions it has made in the past. It's likely the blame game is already starting.

As taxpayers know it's not the former government officials to blame but all levels of government and all parties that contributed by negotiating to help their ridings leaving the rural out in the cold and losing services to make up for in- town benefits.

As a taxpayer in the rural I've seen services cut to the bone as far of being extorted by bureaucrat and Minister of highways . A service that was performed and payed by the taxpayers as part of the benefits of paying taxes is now forced to pay $25.000 dollars for a one time fee for opening of the road with 911 address we live on.

This government is more willing to bend backwards for the subdivision of Whistle Bend by considering too pay for a new building for emergency services because Whistle Bend can't wait 10 minutes for them to show up, unlike some taxpayer in rural areas are denied with an unmaintained road the services period.

Bottom line, Yukon Territory is in deep trouble and with Federal Government investing elsewhere which is leaving us taxpayers waiting and struggling for survival.
