Mayor and council, I was horrified to hear on the news today that the Knights Inn, which I understand we as taxpayers own and B.C. is running, has been busted, with large quantities of fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, cash, drug paraphernalia, and weapons seized.
How long has this been going on? How long has the city been turning a blind eye to the problem?
Now we as taxpayers are buying trailers and servicing at a cost of about a million dollars with hopes of relocating Moccasin Flats? Good luck with that.
The province has purchased the North Star Motel for for about $12 million and council agreed to it. What were you thinking? You are on council representing us to keep Prince George taxpayers safe. You are not a service agency. You have got to start doing some tough love. Enough is enough.
The North Star Motel has to be rezoned. This zoning cannot go through without a lot of rules like no drug use of any kind and cameras everywhere and security by a security company. The Motel is very large, so it should be multipurpose for seniors housing and housing for the working poor.
It’s time Prince George taxpayers have a say as to what is going on in our city before it’s totally destroyed.
By the way, it would be nice to know it any of you even read my letters?
