Starlee Speers-Vernon 105.7 SUNFM
A long time Vernon councillor has announced he's leaving politics. Barry Beardsell says openness and financial accountability have been lacking with this current mayor and council. "I had to make the decision, do I run again or do I run for Mayor. It's paramount in my mind that after twelve years it's time for somebody new." Beardsell says he has no plans to run on the Provincial ballot in May either.
