The most attention was directed towards our look at the BC Budget and one Northwest initiative that didn't appear to make it into the observations of Finance Minister Carol James.
Our look at some of the planning for the Regional District budget also found a good audience, with the public offered an opportunity weigh in with some comments by way of a survey.
The first of two tax collection sessions for the City of Prince Rupert also attracted some views, as we outlined the process ahead for the city's collection of utility taxes.
A late night break and enter at the downtown BC Liquor store was of some interest to readers through the week, as was our series of stories related to the decision by the British Columbia's Passenger Transportation Board to allow Greyhound to eliminate its northern British Columbia bus service.
The top story of the week however explored the BC Budget, or more specifically, something that was missing from the BC Budget.
