Dear voters of Kelowna:

I recently read with interest your online story about Andre Blanleil endorsing Colin Basran as mayor.

Blanleil is a local businessman, previous city councillor and frankly a very good fastball player.

I have admired Blanleil香蕉视频直播檚 business acumen over the years, however, I now wonder if he even remembers where first base is? Or any other base for that matter! Appears he might even be in left field?

You see, Blanleil threw us a real curveball and flip-flopped from just last month when it was reported locally that he was considering making another run for city council this fall for a couple of reasons.

First, he expressed his frustration with what he indicated is the current council香蕉视频直播檚 inability to seriously tackle growing problems of public disorder in downtown Kelowna. 香蕉视频直播淪o many people don香蕉视频直播檛 feel safe going downtown,香蕉视频直播� Blanleil said. 香蕉视频直播淚 know the city香蕉视频直播檚 Journey Home strategy is designed to end homelessness, but that香蕉视频直播檚 a long-term strategy that doesn香蕉视频直播檛 address the problems that are here and now.香蕉视频直播�

Blanleil香蕉视频直播檚 second reason for wanting to run for public office was due to the extreme level of tax hikes over the last four years of 16 per cent, much higher than the inflation rate. 香蕉视频直播淥n taxes, I feel council should have pushed staff harder to get the rates down to the cost-of-living range,香蕉视频直播� Blanleil said.

On behalf of the citizens of Kelowna, who need a mayor with integrity and more transparency from City Hall, I must call you out Blanleil!

Time to go to the bullpen and bring in reliever and bench strength Tom Dyas as mayor so he can hit a home run for the citizens of Kelowna!
