Peacock Vying for Council Seat

Wednesday, October 8, 2014 @ 11:04 AM

peacock2Prince George, B.C.-  Former  Citizen of the Year, Monica Peacock,  has announced she is seeking a seat on Prince George city Council.

“I believe that  communication, collaboration and compromise  are  definitely something that  should be done in our  community as a whole.”

Peacock says she  loves the community “and I truly and utterly believe I have something to offer.”

Peacock  was the organizer of the  Evening of Pink, an annual fundraising dinner and dance to raise dollars for breast cancer research.

She says she sees infrastructure as one of the key issues that needs to be addressed by  the City ” road  rehabilitation, infrastructure, snow  removal , all of those  things  have to be dealt with, but everyone’s pocket  or wallet, is drained,  so we have to be able to  look at the community and say justify why  you want to do it  or how much  we need to  put  away for it.”

Peacock says she believes  Prince George needs a performing arts centre, but does not believe the City  should  be the one to pay for it.

Good another business woman stepping up to the plate. Lets see how she fairs against the others running, wish her luck. Don’t know her personally or professionally, just happy to see someone else who wants a kick at the civic cat (I like cats and don’t condone kicking them). Maybe a fresh face council is what we need here for a change.

Am I the only one who interpreted the headline literally?

I just hope that the new batch of councillors have the guts to start trimming city hall staff from the top on down.

This is the first new candidate I’ve wanted to hear more from. Hopefully we do.
