Dear voters of Kelowna:

I recently read with interest your online story about Andre Blanleil endorsing Colin Basran as mayor.

Blanleil is a local businessman, previous city councillor and frankly a very good fastball player.

I have admired Blanleil91裸聊视频檚 business acumen over the years, however, I now wonder if he even remembers where first base is? Or any other base for that matter! Appears he might even be in left field?

You see, Blanleil threw us a real curveball and flip-flopped from just last month when it was reported locally that he was considering making another run for city council this fall for a couple of reasons.

First, he expressed his frustration with what he indicated is the current council91裸聊视频檚 inability to seriously tackle growing problems of public disorder in downtown Kelowna. 91裸聊视频淪o many people don91裸聊视频檛 feel safe going downtown,91裸聊视频� Blanleil said. 91裸聊视频淚 know the city91裸聊视频檚 Journey Home strategy is designed to end homelessness, but that91裸聊视频檚 a long-term strategy that doesn91裸聊视频檛 address the problems that are here and now.91裸聊视频�

Blanleil91裸聊视频檚 second reason for wanting to run for public office was due to the extreme level of tax hikes over the last four years of 16 per cent, much higher than the inflation rate. 91裸聊视频淥n taxes, I feel council should have pushed staff harder to get the rates down to the cost-of-living range,91裸聊视频� Blanleil said.

On behalf of the citizens of Kelowna, who need a mayor with integrity and more transparency from City Hall, I must call you out Blanleil!

Time to go to the bullpen and bring in reliever and bench strength Tom Dyas as mayor so he can hit a home run for the citizens of Kelowna!
