WL News - Oct 27th edition

1) Byron Kemp explains why he wants to be CRD Area 'E' Director again - see here
2) WL Mayoral Candidates explain their views on the City of WL's $19.4 million debt - see here
3) Fluoride Open House tonight at WL Fire Hall - view here

Editor's Note - interesting the Fire Hall was selected, instead of WL City Hall which is more centrally located, I would argue, for most of the City's residents'...

4) Explanation of how City debt is $19.4 million debt is composed - see here
5) Review of SD #27 "All Candidates" Forum - view here
6) Mark Thiessen: Scott Nelson, pls give the electorate more credit - view here
7) David Williams (Pres - Friends of Nemiah Valley) - Prosperity Mine "wrong mine in wrong place by wrong company" - view here
8) Vancouver Sun editorial - Prosperity Mine 2nd environmental review must be fast-tracked - view here
9) Debate on Fluoride Referendum Question continues - view here

Editor's Note - interesting that current Mayor Kerry Cook chose not to respond to Item #9, as above, and instead deferred to City CAO Brian Carruthers.  Sooner or later - she have to give her own thoughts on this at all candidates forums and she'll won't have Staff to lean on

  1. Because she's doing the right thing and stepping back and letting the people decide. There are so many more important things to talk about like taxes and crime than a stupid referendum question on fluoride.

  3. Thank you for your comments...

    Anonymous #2 - yes, she did respond to comments on the Rush. The story I referred to was on Welcome to Williams Lake and she chose to defer to Staff. I stand by my comments in the blog post...

    Sorry we'll agree to disagree..
