An open letter to Conservative candidate Rosalyn Bird, running in Prince George/Valemount, shared with The Citizen:

I have concerns about a lot of things, mostly about the North Star Motel on Victoria Street. I am a senior and I live near it. We have a school a block away.   

It’s for transitional people from who knows where, with who knows what.

There has been a fortune spent on this motel and the one on Queensway, and they’re still spending on these motels bordering on residential areas. That is putting us in harm’s way.  Please take a drive by the motel and you will see what I mean.

My big question is will there be security and security cameras?

I am sick of this “free everything.”  Who is accountable for the money spent? Will we ever know how much is being spent? 

Nobody has the answer to my questions. City council says they can’t do anything, it’s the province.  Please look into this.
