Kamloops Voter Asks:
What do you see as the single most important issue facing Kamloops right now?
What are your ideas for managing or overcoming this issue?
The biggest issue in Kamloops is our Unemployment rate. We are very much lacking in good paying jobs. Especially for the graduates coming out of the trades programs at TRU. I would like to see the Industry tax rate lowered to be in line with the provincial average and for the new city council to work hard at bringing in Well managed industry, developments and investments.
I believe that it creates a ripple affect for the city. Create jobs, keep people here working and living. They spend money in businesses, buy houses, pay taxes and create revenue for the city to use to keep the city looking its best. And it also gives us money to contribute to the social issues such as the homelessness issues and the drug overdose problems.
