North Shore business ED indulges in election scare tactics
KAMLOOPS — Fear-mongering is a common occurrence in election campaigns and this one is no different. The BC Liberals fear-monger about tax raises if the NDP wins; the NDP fear-mongers about exactly the same thing if the Liberals win.
It happens at the local level, too, the latest shameless example being comments by Steven Puhallo, executive director of the North Shore Business Improvement Association.
Puhallo has headed up a very worthwhile project to improve the Tranquille Road corridor from the airport into the City. It’s been under study for years, with cost being a major concern.
It’s now at the point where it should move forward — it’s a modest version compared to the plan that was originally proposed but it would certainly help first impressions when people arrive in Kamloops by air and drive towards town.
