In Williams Lake:

* Cariboo MLA's give their take on the 2011 Provncial Budget - see here

In Quesnel:
* Quesnel Councillor Sushil Thapar questions Mayor Sjostrom & Councillors' Coralee Oakes and Laurey-Anne Roodenburg upcoming hotel expenses for the UBCM Convention in September. Read here and here. Read Mayor Sjostrom's response here
Editor's Note - I think that how Councillor Thapar handled this issue is deplorable and is quite frankly conduct unbecoming a Quesnel City Councillor. If he was truly concerned about Mayor Sjostrom and Quesnel Councillors' Coralee Oakes/L-A Roodenburg's expenses, instead of scoring cheap political points in the media, he could have and should have contacted Mayor Sjostrom personally and explained his concerns to her. Finally - I believe Councillor Oakes has it right when she says this (from her Facebook page):
If you are going to judge me look at actual expenses vs what you think I might spend
