Finally - on the blog directly (also last week), I posed this question to my readers:
In light of the 3 Public Disputes -- WL Community Forest, CRD Rural Fringe Protection (and at the time) Union Negotiations - should Kerry Cook be re-elected as Mayor of Williams Lake next fall?
Out of 133 votes cast:
8 people or 6% of all votes cast said Yes
125 people or 93% of all votes cast said No
As the information above suggests so far - there seems to be general dissatisfaction of Williams Lake City Council's performance to date, although to be fair - there is still one more year to turn it around. The survey was obviously ran before the Don DeGagne situation unfolded this past week which is likely to affect people's opinion of Council as we get closer towards the 1 year count-down to the next local gov't election, currently scheduled for Nov 15th, 2014

Ain't it funny that what goes around comes around.
Your sample is very skewed Steve and hardly representative of the community. The HUGE majority of folks who read your blog dislike anyone elected and government in general.
To suggest that your survey is indicative of the entire community is laughable at best.
Actually i would have to bet that what used to be, and pardon the phrase Steve, but a municipal "slam" page, has over the last year moved into a more balanced and fulsome conversation. I would venture that more moderates are reading this blog than before as it has become much more rounded and addressing the facts, not the persons. While I agree you will get a bent favoring Steves outlook on things, a subsequent survey where steve asks questions of his readers, particularily when they started to read and why, coupled with asking if his change to presenting information has had an impact, and what, would solidify what "type" of reader he has. I for one have been directly opposed to Steve going after individuals and he has heard from me, however (while not agreeing with his position at times) have agreed on his analysis and exposing of positions.
I would doubt Steve would think the sample is representative, however, looking at the numbers AFTER doing the above noted surveys might change the view of the validity of the survey...or not.
