GOOD!!
Up the rates for water--and why not sewer???
Send Initiatives P G reps to Spain, or Portugal, or Denmark, or England. Let them go on a world wide tour--and take Kinsley with them. Must be something he can check out?????
Heat up the downtown, and revitalize it--at any cost.
The taxpayers in Prince George have lots of money.Just get it out of them!!!!
Open up that gaming centre. Get a percentage of that also.
That is like voluntary taxation.
The idiots give their money willingly.
Increase land and property taxes. Have to cover that debt load somehow, so get some closed meetings on the agenda to determine just what that good old mill rate will be increased by for 2006.
George, you are the accountant for this one, and if you figure on borrowing more, go for it now, before assessments can be determined!!!!
Up, up, and away!!!!
Keep this circus at Prince George City Hall on a roll.
The voters fully deserve the lot of you making decisions for them.
Should be great sport for the next few years!!!
Get the "watch dog" to check out all the illegal suites that City Hall turns a blind eye on. Should be able to double that good old water rate to $404.72.
Now that would be a nice bonus-seeing as how it was reported once there were supposedly in excess of 4000 in the city.
How about all those single family dwellings that have Grannie and Granpa, Mom and Dad, a few offspring raising grandchildren and great grandchildren, plus maybe a coupla' cousins--all living in the same house.
Wow, they sure get city services cheap now don't they?????
Single rate for water, sewer, garbage pick up, single res. taxes, cable, phone, hydro, gas.
I better stop-just getting to sound too good!!!!!
Oh well, not to worry!!!
Life will go on- it will just cost more!!!!
At least for the average white guy!!!
Cheers!!!
People have the right to complain when they stop wasting water. The number of times I see people watering their driveway instead of sweeping it is ridiculous. Lazy Lazy Lazy.

!!!
??? (Does this really help get the point across???)
Wow Gypsy,

Perhaps a round of cross burnin's and some lynchin's would get things back to the way they used to be.

The illegal suites need to go. If people want to live in cramped quarters, break no laws, and combine their financial power, good for them.

Seems to me they are the smart ones in this deal.
oops Big B, if you want to burn a cross on my lawn-or lynch me-best you reconsider.
Just not a popular move.
Gypsy,

Judging by your comments, I think it is you who needs to put away the gas cans and lynchin chains.

Stating that only the white man is the one who pays is an incorrect statement.

Do you speak on behalf of all the white men, or do you feel you need to?

Just curious.
