Vernon Mayor Wayne Lippert "Gets It"

He really does! 

Wayne Lippert, mayor of Vernon, was recently quoted as saying "We're working very hard to try and not have a property tax increase this year as the economy has hurt a lot of residents." 

Downright refreshing.

But Coldstream Mayor Jim Garlick and his council are going down a different path.
The path that leads to taxpayer disgust.

"Maybe we Coldstreamers should realign municipal boundaries...might be easier than trying to convince Garlick et al that they're way off base," sighs Kia.
