AMALGAMATION POLL results after 1 week.


Looks like 3 out of the 4 areas are trending to the support of an amalgamation but it is early in the poll. Coldstream taxpayers seem reluctant to join with their other area taxpayers to eliminate some political jobs and to rationalize the bureaucracy. There are still 27 days to register your vote in the poll and to make any comments you may wish on the viability of amalgamation. Please keep them relatively civil so I can publish them.

A provocative but cynical observation that "Coldstream should embrace amalgamation so that they can receive the same benefits that Okanagan Landing received when they joined Vernon" is acceptable.

A comment such as "Vernon sucks, and so does the Mayor and Council", adds nothing to the discussion and may get this blog in trouble with the HRC (Human Rights Commission) if someone inadvertently equates the Mayor or other council member with some historical personage of Kenny and Spenny fame.

All four areas should be amalgamated and it should also include Lumby and Armstrong

Regionalism is the way to go under the Vernon banner ofcourse

There is no other way
Time to rid ourselves of the tiny barons who are power obsessed
