Thank you very much for your well-written editorial. I agree wholeheartedly that Mayor Hall should resign and anyone else who is found out to have had knowledge of the increases to the project budget. I would hope that the citizens of the city would demand an investigation and an audit.
I moved to Prince George from Victoria in 2015. I consider this to be my permanent home, although it seems in the past two years (since the last election) that the city seems to be run in a cloak of darkness. Especially when it comes to city budget overruns, there doesn’t seem to be any accountability.
If the same scenario was a private company that mismanaged a project budget this badly (and was not transparent with other budgets), I am sure the board would require the CEO’s resignation, as well as all parties involved.
I hope that this city can get behind this.
