PrinceGeorgeCitizen
38Itbwould be great if could have a pic of both offenders for reference. I'm disturbed that media seem to protect their identities and faces. I wonder why? Is there a law.

Rustad urges Eby to take more action on U.S. tariffs
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 27Make our lumber affordable to residents so we can build here in town. We should be able to buy our own lumber at or below total costs it takes to ship to the US and across Canada.

Committee members wary of discussing grant funding in front of Citizen reporter
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 29I wonder why the former CEO of The Exploration Place wants these meetings to be behind closed doors? This is very suspicious considering the state of finances The Exploration Place is in.

Prince George city council ponders how to expedite unfunded capital projects
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 22OK, now this is ridiculous. Have we elected a few people to approve spending that again benefits a few people? The trail system is not necessary and would need constant upkeep and clearing. That I am not willing to pay for, period. The library yes needs some work.The bus pullout and turning lanes should have been part of the development. I am one voice but I do vote.

City of Prince George draft budget proposes 6.55% tax increase
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 26Well that's a kick in the stomach. Council can you please stop this from happening? Something has to be cut. Management has to be reduced to get the increase in the workers needed. Why do we have so many exempt staff? Exempt staff normally cost a company a whole heck if a lot more than an average worker.

Speeders' vehicles impounded, charges laid and tickets issued as BC Highway Patrol steps up enforcement
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 21We have many laws that are not being enforced. We need to have police control blackened windows and people hiding license plates as we saw a near miss ourselves on a crosswalk but couldn't see the driver because their front side windows were black.

College Heights housing development plan coming back to council
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 19This has me concerned. Zoning that allows for uses like a community care, school or non-profit may apply or be given tax exempt status according to the new bylaws being approved that same night. No more tax exemptions where we have to make up the difference on our taxes. I'd like to see a map with every property that has been granted tax exempt or tax grants made available to us every year. Let's see what we are dealing with.

City staff report recommends council reject supportive housing plan
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 13For goodness sakes. These people bought the place knowing what the zoning. If this passed council will have betrayed the residents who also bought knowing the zoning.

Prince George over budget for 2024 snow control
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 17I am so tired of the waste.There is a reason for this. Plowing when there isn't any snow or ice. Having 24/7 coverage when we don't need it. Worker overtime is high according to the year end reports and just too many people and equipment. We had crews plowing and moving snow 2 and 3 times in a week when there wasn'tany snow or rain. This is mismanagement at it's worst and if Council doesn't take action and fire someone over this it's time for us to take action. Block these plows and trucks when they come down your street and it hasn't snowed. When we the people see waste block them. Clearing downtown for what, a bunch of nonprofits not paying taxes. Asking for money tax payer money is NOT the answer. Don't have an answer Council? Then get one!

Pinewood Avenue supportive housing given two-year temporary permit
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 10This has got me completely baffled. Why the heck did we spend $300 k on an OCP if you councilor and mayor don't respect it? Scott, Frizzel, Bennet and Yu are willing to change a neighborhood for a newcomer to town that can't afford a proper facility so they mess with other people's enjoyment, they home. People if you have any problems in your neighborhood call bylaws. Ask for someone to call you back so you can explain. Call for everything, every time, when related to activity because of this 2 year permit. If anything adversely happens in the neighborhood, can the city be sued? Just wondering.BTW Mayor Yu please start following meeting protocols and stop with the numerous opinions. Commenting once on a topic is enough IMHO. The meetings are taking too long because of this.

Councillors push for update to downtown bathroom situation
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 13Does Council get it yet? The community is tired. It would appear that PG Citizen has fallen prey to censorship when one cannot say toilet or fed up in a post. Maybe look at your algorithm.

Conditional discharge, probation for woman who assaulted doctor
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 15I disagree with this decision. Hiding the conviction does not help others in close proximity of the defendant who may be at risk if there is another episode.

Ottawa releases full list of U.S. goods subject to tariffs
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 12Stay strong Canada and help those of us that may be hit harder than others. We cannot give in to a nation he'll bent on self-destruction at the expense of our own well being. Trump wants more favourable trade deals and he thinks by terrorizing his allies he'll get what he wants. Let's show him a bit of spirit and resistance the Canadian way. Buy local.

Students, supporters react as CNC considers ending English class
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 10I want CNC to be successful and that is not possible if the institution is not viable. Programs that cannot pay for themselves must be re-evaulated until they can be. The tax payer cannot continue to support or pay for programs that are not in demand enough to pay for themselves. Thank you CNC for keeping the program going for as long as you could.

Council approves plan to establish citizen recognition medal program
PrinceGeorgeCitizen 13Council, I did not vote so you can set up a medal program. No matter how you look at it, it will be looked at as political. Please stay focused on making those hard decisions about taxes, planning and and services. I question if this is a good use of our tax dollars because I'm not naive, this is going cost us and the need for another person to cover council pet project. We have grants, exemptions, key to the city and provincial, federal awards. I don't volunteer so to be parted on the back. Nice thought but move on and FOCUS on what matters.
