Commentary by Ben Amos

A recent editorial criticized the Visioning Penticton Group as a political party. The definition was given in a disparaging tone as a questionable departure in Municipal politics.  Visioning Penticton is not a political party in any way. It is a group of concerned citizens who truly believe that Penticton can do better. It is not a group that devolved out of  the resistance to the potential of a prison but was formed many months before. It is concerned about a much broader set of issues.   These issues are outlined on their website.

Isn’t it strange that editorials will lament the apathy evidenced by low voter turnout then turn around and slag those who are openly interested?
