Should we have a say on a prison in Oliver?

Not exactly energetic out there in news-land so I will attempt to cover a few bases this week with a poll.

About ten people showed for last night’s council meeting wanting to speak on the Prison Issue but had not gone through the usual protocol so will get the opportunity in two weeks time.

It is my belief that group is opposed to a prison facility in this area and want to urge council to hold a referendum on the question. I doubt that will happen as the land and the proposal is on property controlled by the Osoyoos Indian Band and lies in the Regional District.

I will provide a poll for three days and allow comments on the subject. It will be my second time of providing opportunity for readers to express themselves. Go at it!!
