Don Quixote's "Winner of the biggest Political Blunder of 2007 Trophy"

Thanks to Don Quixote!

WINNER OF 'What was the biggest Political Blunder of 2007' TROPHY ANNOUNCED


The Blunder of 2007 Title was a close contest but after an exhaustive tabulation of votes our Bean Counters and lawyers Dewy, Cheetum and Howe have certified that Coldstream Council has received 75% of the ballots cast and win the Prestigious Dumb as a Dodo Political Blunder Trophy for 2007 for their perseverance in having a referendum on the Non Farm use of ALR Land.

In second place with a 69% rating for their counter petition ploy for the Library/Civic Centre was the Vernon City Council.

The Bronze medal for third Place goes to NORD for their higher than cost of living pay raises who received a 42% rating.

Technically Vernon City Council with their Residential Tax increase and Business tax decrease did receive a 45% rating and was higher than the NORD blunder but the strict rules of the competition do not allow any Council to win more than 1 medal so as to save Political face and embarrassment.
