GEORGE TOWN: The state government will consider giving grants to both city councils due to the major cuts in assessment tax, says Jagdeep Singh Deo.

The Penang local government committee chairman said the state government would consider offering grants to both the Penang Island City Council (MBPP) and Seberang Prai City council (MBSP) due to the loss in funding from the assessment tax.
