Rathor: Make Woodland Dr Water/Sewer Provincial Election Issue

From the Rush:

A Williams Lake City Councillor is hoping next years' provincial election will become a platform for a lack of water and sewer services on Woodland Drive.

Surinderpal Rathor says “there’s a provincial election looming on our shoulders, I’m hoping we can tag into that and see the best we can make out of that and see some money with the help of our local MLA. I’m counting on this.”

Rathor says he also plans to lobby the provincial government regarding this issue at September's UBCM conference.

A recent survey of the neighbourhood found that if moneys are not sourced from taxes, funding opportunities or other sources that there is little appetite to pay for the services themselves.

Rathor says the total cost of installing the services would be around $3.5 million.

Rathor says anything if it makes him sound good. Have you ever really listened to him?? He's say lots but never actually says anything at all. He is the perfect example of a politician who says what people want to hear fully knowing that he's blowing smoke up their you know what.
Nice guy but as useful as...well, not useful at all!
