[LookOutSugarLake] Kokanee Lodge Sewage Discharge- Sugar Lake

[Jeanne Arcand]

Dear Mike,

 

For the life of me I don't understand what it takes to get politicians to do
their jobs.  I truly don't get it.  I grew up believing that the politicians
were the voice of the people, elected officials that stood up for their
constituents.  This clearly is not the case.

 

In this day and age I find it appalling that anyone is allowed to discharge
sewage into any water system.   It is just not necessary.  After all the
opposition to this particular development, I don't understand your "it's out
of my hands" bullshit.  The application was in compliance-  WHAT?????- He
lied on his application!  I don't know about your compliance rules but any
I've had to follow were null and void if the person lied on the application.
So that's how you do it eh?  Just lie on an application and then because you
say what the powers that be want, it just gets passed and there's no way to
stop it? Isn't that why we have governments, to make sure stuff like this
doesn't happen.  The BC Government is always on the news, we're doing this
and that for the environment.  That's great, I applaud their efforts.  But
what one hand is giving, the other is taking away! 

This is clearly an issue that is NOT going to go away.  There are too many
pissed off people.  Maybe you think that we are a bunch of hicks living out
in a rural community and that we will give up.  I think you have no idea who
you are dealing with, we are used to that mentally out here.  We don't want
this to happen and if we can't stop it from happening this time, we will
follow through and make sure it can't happen in the future.  The other
Regional District Reps all the way down the Shuswap River have made new
rules just because of this situation.  If our Regional Districts can change
the rules, why can't you- or better yet- why don't you want to?
