KAMLOOPS —  Residents of Kamloops get their first chance to see what might be in store in next year’s budget tonight. The Let’s Talk budget meeting runs from 7-9 PM at the Parkside Lounge in the Sandman Centre. 

Mayor Peter Milobar says it’s a chance for the public to have their say on what they’d like to see in the way of new projects, or conversely, where the city can cut money to ease the tax load…

“I think it’s just a way for the public to reach out” says the Mayor. He adds “they can advocate a project they’d like to see added in, even if it’s not this year but in future years. Or things they might want to see in terms of cutting or reducing of service levels.”
