Mayor Foghorn would be anything but boring
KAMLOOPS — It’s enough to tickle the fancy of any political junky, the prospect of Kevin Krueger directing traffic in City Hall, sitting up there in the mayor’s chair presiding over council meetings.
For Krueger, who got his nickname Foghorn back in the days when as a Liberal MLA and cabinet minister he relentlessly heckled and bellowed at the hapless New Democrats on the other side of the Legislature, is suddenly a player in the complicated web of possibilities in civic politics.
He let it be known on Facebook this week that he’s seriously considering a political comeback of sorts, taking a run at council barely three years and a bit after leaving the Ledge. To be clear, he says he’d only run for the top job in City Hall if Ken Christian doesn’t, and Ken has long been clear that the only thing he’s been waiting for is for Peter Milobar to clear out his desk.
