We need better City Council in Prince George, B.C.
For two Council cycles now, 8 years we have had an Administative Caucus that is not serving the needs of the People of Prince George, B.C.
Responsive Council
Councillor need to be responsive to all members of the community, not just a select few or preferred voters or donors.
Accountability in Council
Councillors are "accountable" to the public they serve, that means "transparency" is a critical part of that accountability.
Responsible Council
Councillors need to keep in mind they are responsible for the action and inaction they take in regards to the community, it's safety and it's development.
We the people of Prince George have seen too much over the last 8+ years in our community. We are a caring and hard working community, we look after our neighbors, and they look after us. We have opened our doors in times of need, to neighboring communities. We are the “big brother” to our northern communities. But over the last 8+ years there has been a change, slow and not so obvious, but now we are at a limit of what we can support.
Civic taxation, poor decisions and absolutely lousy planning, has driven us to the point many folks are packing and leaving Prince George. Why? With mill shut downs and closures, the increased out of control spending at City Hall in concert with the Province wide economic downturn, courtesy of our Provincial and Federal governments, many folks just can’t afford to live here any more.
Crime, theft, vandalism, street disorder, fires, open drug use, open drug trafficking, needles and drug use garbage in school play grounds is a growing concern. We have tried on several occasions to get our Council to address these issues to no real avail. Oh, it’s a good time for an “open house”, a “town hall”, a “take back our streets” rally. Most of which involved spending civic funds, show boating and getting nothing tangible as a result other than more annoyed taxpayers. What did we get from our elected officials? Nothing. Those on Council who tried to champion any real change are chastised by other Councillors in an open Council meeting.
