Let’s be clear on what Marg Spina’s fellow councillors said
KAMLOOPS — Let’s set the record straight about that conversation around the City council table last week with respect to Coun. Marg Spina’s announcement that she intends to resign at the end of June.
Spina’s revelation that her cancer is incurable was a shock to everyone, and her fellow councillors wish her nothing but the best. Dealing with her ill health must, of course, be the priority.
If she must resign to do that, causing a by-election, so be it.
Councillors Tina Lange, Denis Walsh and Dieter Dudy expressed the hope that she would be able to carry on without resigning just yet. But it had nothing at all to do with any disregard for Spina’s health or with putting the issue of a by-election first.
