I have witnessed many accidents, some of which required ambulances and many of which involved police and all are the result of the City of Prince George failing to act.

I have a simple solution to the city's problem of a lack of money to do proper snow removal. There are two untapped sources that I'm sure would provide more than enough funds. License bicycles and cats! We have to license dogs.

Expensive rainbow trout. Taseko Mine Proposal Rejection. Facts: 500 direct jobs; 1,200 indirect jobs; average job pays $40,000; 90,000 rainbow trout in Fish Lake; estimated lifespan of mine - 20 years.

As a small business owner in Prince George who has a home in Vancouver, I fear Premier Campbell's very successful leadership strategy will be emulated by other party leaders. The big provincial spending was always slated for Vancouver.

VICTORIA - Gordon Campbell's decision to stick around as a lame duck party leader is terrible news for the Liberals. Campbell took questions from reporters on the day after he announced he would step down. It was an odd performance.

It seems that once or twice a year a letter appears bemoaning the goodies that non-Native governments shower upon First Nations ("Native inequality doesn't seem fair", Prince George Citizen, Nov. 6).

Re: Snow Removal If we can't afford proper snow removal in the "we are a winter city," how can we afford the winter games. Imagine the impression visitors will get when there is 18 inches of slush and snow on our streets.

Several years ago we had a referendum on a increase in our city taxes for the clearing of windrows in our driveways.

I compliment Tim Kalsbeck and Joan Schleich for their straight-forward letters of Nov. 1. I answered the city's invitation "to have my say" by giving my comments online. However, I am not sure who in city hall will read what I said.

Jack Knox Slightly Skewed OK, Steve Nash is out. There was that goofy story out of Phoenix that said he was quitting basketball to run for office back home in Victoria, but he quickly denied it. Too bad.
