Whenever I hear the word amalgamation I think of somewhere I lived many years ago while attending university and wonder why it has never happened there.
I refer to Victoria, Saanich, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and environs.
And while we’re at it how about Greater Vancouver or all of the Fraser Valley communities?
Think of the dollars that could be saved in these larger metropolitan areas if they amalgamated.
I am not sure who the members are of the group who want to see Vernon, Coldstream and outside areas combine under one government structure but I do know that I don’t want to see my taxes go up because the City of Vernon cannot rein in its spending habits.
