There are only two ways to increase net profit: increase income or decrease expenses. When a company wants or needs to establish a higher profit margin, it has those same two choices. A company can make more stuff or get in more product and then sell more. It can also decrease expenses. For a government at any level it is a bit more difficult, as they don’t have the same control over income. Taxes are based on the economy’s productivity and government can’t do much about that in the short term, they can, however, cut expenses. In a public setting, that is a very tough thing to do. Many government jobs are protected by contract or union agreement. In addition, when cuts are made, there is a public outcry about job losses.

This imposing three-storey Davidson House, a Neepawa landmark known as ‘The Castle’, is entering its last winter. Due to extensive interior decay and black mould, as well as an asbestos issue, an order to demolish the building has been issued. With the building secured, the Town is expecting that demolition will occur next spring.
