For all those with harsh criticism for a mistake made, feel free to step up and do the job yourself. Maybe then, you'll see that this job, along with all other election positions, is a very difficult one where NOT making a mistake is your main focus. To know you have messed up must be a sickening feeling even if it doesn't effect the outcome of the results.

So we have a healthy surplus, but we are asking for a loan for over 11 million through the Alternate Approval Process???

This council is so obviously divided on so many topics. It actually made me laugh out loud that Sampson disagreed with Klassen. He always does.

Looks great! Hopefully it will be AFFORDABLE seniors housing. The Prince George Chateau is so expensive that it sits with empty units. That is unacceptable.

I think this is a great idea. Modular homes should be encouraged in the development of all neighborhoods. If you take a look over by Heather Park Elementary, you will see a mixture of custom built homes, single modular, and double modular homes. It's a mixture that seems to work. The only thing that would need to be considered is insurance. Currently, insurance rates on modular homes is more expensive then constructed homes.

Downtown businesses may be experiencing a decrease in crime because they have been forced to take extreme measures to secure their property such as security gates and shutters. So, once again, the good guys end up taking care of the problem and the criminals still go free. Residents are in the same boat, being forced to take extra precautions to protect themselves and their property. I would bet that people have just stopped reporting vandalism and theft because it is not considered a priority by law enforcement. So, people, let's start reporting every little thing and see what happens to these statistics next year!

The poor attendance is not necessarily an indication of apathy. I know I didn't attend personally, because I have resigned myself to what I feel is fact: that the city doesn't listen to us anyway. It seems to be a general consensus among many residents that the City has already decided what they are doing before these meetings take place. If the main concern is lack of population, that may become even more of an issue as people leave PG because of work shortages (ie. mill closures).

So glad the police are asking for dash cam footage 10 DAYS after the fact! From what I understand, this victim was not merely injured, but SEVERELY injured and transported to Vancouver for surgeries. Let's get serious about reporting crimes so the rest of us can do what we need to for our own safety. My heart goes out to the family of this victim. It sounds to me like he has a long road of recovery ahead of him.

Why not just move him across the highway over by the Welcome to Prince George sign. If people want a picture with him, they can park in the casino parking lot and use the lights to walk over.

I find it incredibly ironic that the only way I am getting this information about this motion, other then attending the meeting, is via The Citizen. This council is so divided and the lines are clear on almost every topic. Skakun, Klassen and Yu are in a constant uphill battle for common sense and popular public opinion. The rest just don't get it! There are many, many people in PG who do not use Facebook or Social Media of any kind. The Citizen is just one more communication tool to reach the public and promote transparency. Save money on something else, not this.
