Goetz seeking re-election as Merritt’s mayor
MERRITT — British Columbians are set to head to the polls this October to elect regional area directors, councils and mayors.
Mike Goetz will be seeking re-election in Merritt, where he has served as mayor for the last four years. Goetz says there are still too many projects on the go he wants to personally see completed.
“Diking is one of them. We have 70 per cent of our diking but we are still missing 30 per cent. I would love to see 100 per cent of it covered,” Goetz told CFJC News. “I want to work on that, so I formed a group of five mayors, we have a name and are going to FCM trying to get funding for all of us. Watching the city still repair itself and grow, we’ve managed to get some really good investment in the community, have more investment we are looking at, but like anything else, that takes time. I would like to see that come to fruition.”
