GVS Governance dissolved -- Starlee Speers - Astral Media Radio News

Thu, 2008-06-05 08:47. Local News

There's been foreshadowing for over a year, but now Greater Vernon Services Governance has officially been dissolved.

Regional district chair Jerry Oglow says, GVS functions like Parks and Rec and Water will remain in place but will be run by committees.

Oglow says, the public will likely not even notice a difference and GVS staff will all remain in their positions.

The inevitable finally happened. This white elephant has taken a lot on money out of our pockets for little reward. Most of the customers, outside of Vernon, got nothing for their extra money. In fact, now that it's gone we can say that it did not accomplish anything for our hard earned cash. I assume, some politicians will shed a few crocodile tears but for most of us its departure will have no impact.
