Re the race track vs the City of Vernon.
How much longer do we have to suffer with the ongoing bickering between these two parties?
Here is a timely solution.
Seeing as how there are no more grandstands and there will be a payout by the insurance company, put the money that would be spent on lawyers and get together with the provincial government and request that the track be relocated to O’Keefe Ranch.
This would create a destination tourist attraction and could become the entertainment centre of the North Okanagan.
Just think of regular events — cowboy days, ranch tours, a golf course across the street, auto racing just up the road and a restaurant. And best of all, the City of Vernon owns the property.
Surely you educated grown-ups can talk face-to-face and mutually come up with a solution to this decade long legal childlike argument.
Hey guys, the general electorate don’t care who owns what or who is responsible for what. We just want to move on and get some productive results.
I am taking my ball and going home now.
