Zurowski Resigns From Community Futures

Friday, January 04, 2008 04:00 AM

Prince George, B.C. - Prince George Councilor, Don Zurowski, has tendered his resignation from the Community Futures Development Corporation. "I thought that with Gerry (Offet) leaving Initiatives Prince George perhaps it was time for renewal of this Corporation as well" says Zurowski. His resignation takes effect at the end of March, the same time Offet will leave Initiatives Prince George.

Zurowski has been with the Community Futures Development Corporation for 14 years "I am clearing my page for the future" says Zurowski, who says his political plans are not part of the reason why he is leaving the job. "Let me make it very clear, I did not resign because I am running for Mayor, although I may run for Mayor."

Contrary to rumours, Zurowski says he is not seeking the position of President of the North West Development Corporation, nor is he looking to replace Offet when he steps down from Initiatives Prince George. "I have no committments beyond what I am currently doing, I plan to have some time to take a vacation, and maybe cut my work week to about 40 hours".

He admits he is taking a look at running for the position as Mayor of Prince George. "I am considering running, however I have not made a committment to that. When I make a decision, I will happily let my 80 thousand friends and neighbours know."

IMO thats a great job he is giving up. I would think he wouldn't be doing it without a plan.

Zurowski is running for Mayor, and he'll trounce Dan Rogers for the simple reason that people get tired of hearing Dan talk before Dan does.

One on one, the winner will depend on the issues and how much Dan may have kept his ear to the ground from a more neutral rather than defensive position.

However, I do not expect it to be a one on one. It will then depend on who will be the spoiler .... a conservative thinker or a liberal thinker .....

Dan has nothing to loose. Don does unless he does not mind being sidelined for 3 years to pick himself up again for another run, or change his life and move away from civic politics.

Maybe he will run for the Green Party provincially...

we live in Connaught Miller Area and we will not be voting for Don Z. no matter what he runs for ,he did not listen to the people that voted him in last time and we have lost faith in him. How many more shootings can we expect with this new influx of new drug proplems , from all over Canada ?? What happens to the Bad Apples??
