If you are a Prince George Cougars fan and a City of Prince George fan, Andy Beesley has just made an Oscar-worthy performance for you.
He’s worked for both the city and the Cougars and he just helped approve around $1 million to help your tax subsidized WHL team!
It was quite a feat. It involved much talk of a sound system near imminent failure and zero details about sound system complaints or problems that could be reasonably substantiated.
No one on city council bothered to ask the age of the sound systems at the Playhouse, Kopar or the Civic Centre before they voted. I will say that Coun. Cori Ramsay did bring up that the cost of upgrades at CN Centre were less than the revenue CN Centre brings in, even though she didn’t bother to bring up the cost of operating the building.
Whoops!
Anyways, if you see him, congratulate Mr. Beesley on the performance that rendered a sound system beyond resuscitation. It was marvelous! Amazing! Stupendous!
