Screengrab from VI Free Daily May 18
On May 18, Nanaimo Mayor McKay is quoted in the Vancouver Island Free Daily as saying:
“We’re taking a wait-and-see attitude over the weekend,” McKay said. “Our concern is they’re safe there now and as opposed to having them back at city hall or in one of our parks, for example. This is a good option for them. We’ve got the ability to fence the area off and provide some amenities simply for their personal health and hygiene, if you will, and a large dumpster so they can dispose of their garbage.”
Mayor McKay and Council once again demonstrate their complete ineptness
On May 18 a hand full of people broke into city property in downtown Nanaimo and rather than being immediately removed for trespassing our bumbling Mayor welcomed them with open arms.
Over the weeks and months that followed the braintrust at city hall has allowed this illegal occupation to grow to a point where you now have an armed encampment intent on defying city hall, the RCMP and the Supreme Court of BC.
Where is Leonard Krog these days??
Our MLA and Mayor wannabe needs to be pressed for his solution to this entire mess, which is far more a provincial matter than a municipal one.
Anyone asking for your support to be elected to council this year, needs to be very clear as to their intentions to deal with this festering sore that will continue to grow.
