BREAKING Newfoundland Premier Dwight Ball steps down

ST. JOHN’S, N.L. — Newfoundland and Labrador’s premier has announced he is stepping down after more than four years leading the province.

Ball, 63, said he will stay on as premier until a new leader is chosen and will continue to represent the Humber-Gros Morne district in the legislature until the next provincial election. The premier said he will continue overseeing budget preparations and will prioritize protecting ratepayers from the cost overruns of the Muskrat Falls hydro dam.

The dam is set to produce more power than the province can sell, and its existing financial structure would have left electricity ratepayers on the hook to make up the difference starting in 2021.
