Editor's Note - as of this writing - 23 people have commented on this story on Facebook, comments ranging from "Mayor Cook lied to voters' in the last civic election" to "Walt Cobb, please run again". In addition, Mayor Cook expressed her frustration, at last night's WL City Council Meeting, that this project could not move forward this year but said that is what Council decided. Meanwhile Williams Lake City Councillor Surinderpal Rathor says he is prepared to "take his licks" and express to the community why the project can not move forward this year - namely, due to timing, the project would carry over two years rather than start to finish in one year in 2013
