Breaking News: Duncan Barnett resigns as CRD Area 'F' Director

As posted on the CRD Board Agenda for next Friday (October 29th), Duncan Barnett has submitted his resignation as the Cariboo Regional District Electoral Area 'F' Director (150 Mile House - Horsefly - Likely) as of Tuesday, October 12th.

Although his resignation letter is not been publicly released, I would hypothesize that if he (Barnett) either lost or was well on his way to losing his 2nd CRD Court Case, then he may have felt he had no choice under the circumstances

In any event, the resignation will cause an by-election to be held costing CRD taxpayers' in the tens of thousands of unnecessary dollars.  It was sad to see him make this decision as Mr. Barnett has been a good rep for Area 'F', even though he and I did disagree on the Central Cariboo Arts and Culture Function. 

I wish Mr. Barnett and his wife and their daughters all the best in their future endeavors

People should be digging deeper into how the CRD is being run by its management.
The loss of Barnett on the council takes the accountability of the true bullies in the administration down a notch.
I personally cannot wait until the facts are all out in the open.... I strongly suspect that Barnett will be exonerated and the CRD management should be grilled for explanations.
