* More on Walt Cobb's announcement to seek the Mayor's chair in Williams Lake this November - see here (Editor's Note - as required, Walt Cobb will step down from his post as President of the local Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Cobb will not being doing his weekly column in the Tribune for the next 5 months, pending the November civic vote)

In the PG Citizen:
* BC's Privacy Commisioner says she could have gotten involved in the case of leaked in-camera documentation between the City of PG and PG City Councillor Brian Skakun - see here
In Rossland:
In a first (that I can remember) in BC - a Rossland City Councillor was ordered out of a Council Meeting by the Mayor of Rossland, after raising an issue about the CAO contract in public (a big no-no) and was escorted out by local RCMP after refusing the Mayor's order (note, it includes video) - see here
Editor's Note - For the record, most, if not all, procedural bylaws for local governments in BC provide for authority for the Chair of a Council or Council Committee Meeting & also Regional District Board or Committee of a Regional District Board to order a member of the public or Council/RD Member out of a meeting and that, if called upon, the RCMP enforce the Chair's order as if it were a Court Order
