Hi Pete,
I just wanted to let you know that I thought that your latest report (Nov.13th, 2008 Candidate Pledges Management Changes), was unfair and biased... I'm not sure if that was your intent but that is how it came across. I would have thought that you would have picked up on the fundamental differences between the candidates, instead of sensationalizing a comment taken out of context. Glen Taylor has stated in the Morning Star that his reason for running is that he is on the opposite side of the spectrum from Jim Garlick. Yet throughout his campaign he has tried to confuse voters by taking on Jim's platform "smart growth, thoughtful development, adhering to the OCP, transparent government, democratic process, cooperation not amalgamation, fiscal responsibility etc.. If these positions were really Glen Taylor's then perhaps he would have chosen to run for Council with Garlick as a popular Mayor and saved himself a lot of money, trouble, and ultimately humiliation. I hear he bought about 100 hot dogs to win the Home Depot Hot Dog Poll - it may not be that easy to buy the Coldstream electorate.
sincerely yours,

Maria, you have only heard Mr. Taylor speak at 4 open forums and one radio forum yet you hit the nail precisely on the head. You do deserve a spot on Council.
Bravo, Maria.
A man who can't face losing a darn hot dog vote obviously does not have the maturity to be a mayor.
I appreciate your ability to see the bias in the Vernon media. They really are 'yellow journalists'. They pick a quote here or there, blow it out of proportion and misguide the readers/listeners to the true message the candidate was getting at. Pathetic!! I hope they treat you with fairness and integrity. (I won't hold my breathe though.)
Also, BRAVO on your win.
