BREAKING NEWS - Tom Barr will not seek re-election this Nov

Greg Fry, over at the Rush, tweeted the following:

Williams Lake city councillor Tom Barr just announced he will not be running for re-election this fall. More this afternoon.

I'm deeply saddened that he made this decision but respect the fact that he has done a lot for the City and wish him the very best as I consider him a great friend and political mentor

With that - 2 seats on Williams Lake City Council are now are up for grabs -- Tom Barr's and former WL City Councillor Natalie Hebert.  Councilor SPS Rathor is all but guaranteed to keep his seat, and the question will become two fold:

1) Who will the voters' of Williams Lake elect to the two vacant seats?
2) Will Laurie Walters, Geoff Bourdon and Sue Zacharias (if Zacharias/Bourdon do, in fact, run for re-election) be able to hang on to their seats and continue as second-term WL City Councillors

The answer to those two questions will be answered at 8:05pm on Saturday, November 19th

Why is Rathor guaranteed to keep his seat. He has talked out of both sides of his mouth for many years and people are becoming more wise to his "stories" and backdoor deals. Time to cleanse the old stock and bring in more councillors like Bourdon.

Right on.
