Sampson enters Prince George mayoral race
36
He is looking to be a career politician and use this as his next step. The issue with politicians whose background is in PR and marketing is that tends to be all there is. This is not what PG needs. At all.

He has his critics, and one of the most common perceptions is that he spends a lot of time building his own profile and advancing his political career. Whether that's ambition or self interest depends on who you ask. But perhaps that's exactly what Prince George needs right now, a mayor who is driven, highly visible, and determined to leave a mark.

Sampson's record on Council is such that there is no way I could cast a vote for him. We shall see what the options turn out to be when nominations close.I truly hope that voters will look beyond name recognition and consider candidates' history, experience, and record at whatever they have previously engaged in. Too often over the years, we have seen excellent candidates fall short at the ballot box because people voted on name recognition rather than platform and experience. If we believe change is needed and we really want it to come about, then we need a different voting strategy this time.Prince George is actually in the southern half of the province and it is time we change the line to "Gateway to the North" perhaps, or find an entirely new line of promotion. Provinces have One capital, and ours is in beautiful Victoria, a place I never even thought of choosing as home.Please listen and research if you plan to exercise your rights and make your vote count

Seriously, Prince George, is this the best we can do? From a mayor that didn't do much except blow through his expense account to a candidate that couldn't follow the simplest of instructions from the RCMP during his ride along?

" He comes prepared each year to look for savings during the budgeting process " and " he has brought in more cuts than any of his colleagues ".Wasn't he the proponent behind having his non-arms length friend, Dave Mothus of Sun Life Financial and committee propose a substantial pay increase for council and Mayor ?You all know Sun Life....they did over $ 4 million in business with the City last fiscal year." I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine " , what an appropriate campaign slogan for Mr. Sampson.

Taxing us all to death and forcing us to fund everything under the sun should be “unconstitutional”…

" retired from his job at CNC last week "....that's politic speak which really means " I lost my job at CNC last week due to cutbacks " and hopefully I can land a sweet gig as Mayor and make $ 150,000 a year plus.

“Speaking to reporters, Frizzell pointed to homelessness as a success council has achieved in the last decade. He said that because of the city’s work with BC Housing, 555 housing units were built, which allowed Prince George to close three encampments.”You view this as success? Why does Prince George need 555 housing units for homeless people? Ten years ago there was vastly fewer units, but substantially less homeless presence in the down town core. Now the problem persists and I am not at all convinced working with B.C. Housing hasn’t exasperated the situation altogether, by setting prince George up, as a hub for homeless services. One thing is for certain, I don’t know how anyone can view what has happened downtown over the past decade as a success story.

I hope all 3 candidates running for Mayor of Prince George can hear loud and clear that the city can not afford a Performing Arts Center in P.G. It is time for the city to start saving to have the funds for most of the I WANT PROJECTS before using the alternative funding route.We had a referendum several years ago regarding the Performing lArts Center and it was soundly defeated by local residents.
