At the all candidates’ forum on Oct. 18, the candidates were asked to answer ‘yes’ or ‘no’ to the following question:
Given that the Prestige Hotel Conference Centre will cost the taxpayers of Sooke $821 per day for the duration of the Agreement (2015) – would you, either from the mayor’s chair or a council chair, support such an agreement today without giving the public a voice?
Candidates Bennett, Beech, Dumont and Moonfist all voted ‘YES’. All other candidates voted ‘NO.’
Whom do you want at the council table?
