Original Blog Post:
Yesterday morning - Local resident Bobbie-Jo Macnair announced her candidacy for Williams Lake City Councillor in this November's civic election. Born and raised in Williams Lake - her election platform includes:
1) Challenging city council and management to look at issues from a new perspective and remain independent while decision making. With no ties to special interest groups, viewing each decision process to ensure it benefits the community at large.
2) Providing responsible fiscal leadership in this time of financial uncertainty in our community. Ensuring that your tax dollars are allocated to projects that benefit the entire community and that the city “lives within it’s means”.
3) Improving transparency within your city hall. Ensuring that the citizens of Williams Lake have access to information concerning the management of their tax dollars.
4) Engaging youth in the issues that are critical to our community’s vitality. Developing a two way conversation with youth, actively listening to what is important to them. Reaching out to young families across our province to showcase the attributes of living in our city.
I have personally met with Ms. Macnair at recent Williams Lake City Council meetings and I'm very impressed with her attitude & willingness to work hard on the voters' behalf and I believe she would be an excellent asset on Williams Lake City Council next term (2014-18) and her running is in line with my personal belief that we need more young people to be involved in local government - be it on City Council, School Board or the Cariboo Regional District Board. I will be voting for her on November 15th and I hope that you will, like myself, find her worthy of your vote
With her announcement (and including the 3 incumbent WL City Councillors announcing soon) - we now know that there will be a general election necessary to elect 6 WL City Councillors on November 15th as we have seven candidates (so far) in Macnair, Sue Lachance, Wayne Lucier, Peter Bowman and WL City Councillors Ivan Bonnell, Laurie Walters and Sue Zacharias
