DON QUIXOTE VS. CITY HALL When an American gets mad, he says "where's my Gun". When a Canadian gets pissed off he says "Where is my pen, I'm going to send a letter to the EDITOR". When the EDITOR won't publish his letter he sets up his own BLOG page.
When I received enough support to get a Council Seat the dogma of the establishment became : "Better to have him inside the tent pissing out, than outside pissing in." (Only time will tell !)
Penticton-based emergency fire dispatch services are moving to Kelowna. Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen directors voted Thursday to award a five-year contract to the City of Kelowna for $1,076,000, despite the objections of the four Penticton city council members on the board. Under the regional district‘s weighted voting system for financial matters, the motion passed by a 30-23 margin, although the actual vote count was 12-6 in favour. The Penticton directors were joined by Oliver Mayor Pat Hampson and Princeton Mayor Randy McLean in opposing the Kelowna bid. A visibly upset Penticton Fire Chief Wayne Williams declined detailed comment afterwards, noting he wanted to personally tell the five Penticton dispatchers the news before they learned about it on FaceBook.

Excellent decision!
How much would Vernon save if they also went with the Kelowna proposal, but I doubt Vernon City would ever make that comparison.
