Why Not Ask the People?

I agree with Councillor Spears that the Citizens of Greater Vernon should be given the opportunity to have their say on whether to ask the provincial government to do a study on options for a new governance model for our communities. I sincerely hope that Vernon City Council will put the question  on the Fall ballot. Why not ask the people?  Whatever the result it surely would give some sense of direction for the new Council. This direction will be important because in all likelihood the new Council will be in office for a four year term.
Nevertheless amalgamation will be one of the election issues this fall whether it is on the ballot or not.

Cheers , Shawn Lee a Vernon Taxpayer.
