News report: Councillor Tom Witty is moving out of the Lake Country area and Council decided to fill his spot on Council through a byelection (click on article on left for enlargement).Perhaps Coldstream Council should consider a similar election as well. Councillor Williams no longer lives in Coldstream, thus she should do the honourable thing and resign her position as Councillor.
At an earlier Council meeting Coun. Williams advised another resident that if he did not like the proposed sports complex project he should follow her example and move out of Coldstream.
Technically she has the right to remain in her position but in reality she no longer represents Coldstream taxpayers. She does not pay taxes to Coldstream, thus her decisions will not affect her financially or otherwise. There is still a full year left of her tenure and a resident Councillor would probably make more appropriate decisions.
