Taxpayers Association Requests Investigation

A public watchdog group is taking action over the city of Vernon's plan for a new library and civic complex. About 200 people attended a meeting held Tuesday by the Vernon Taxpayers Association. Meeting chair Andy Danyliu says the common theme of the people who spoke, was that city council should be holding a referendum for the 20 million dollar plan. 'They had a sense of deja vu, that it was, they felt that the way this council is handling this cultural centre, library project is reminiscent of the worst days of Sean Harvey.' The group voted to write a letter to the Inspector of BC Municipalities asking it to investigate any irregularities in the city's process.
The participants also agreed to oppose the plan through the counter petition process, which starts July 16-th.
