The Goldstream Gazette has posted an article on the upcoming Nov. 15th elections. Here is the section related to my candidacy:
All current councillors except Coun. John Goudy are seeking re-election. Throwing their hats in the ring too are Steven Hurdle, Herman Surkis and Michael Mortimore, all who took Langford to task on its new official community plan earlier this year.
Hurdle in particular squared off against council when he organized a petition calling for a referendum on borrowing money for the Spencer interchange. Hurdle collected 2,250 signatures from Langford residents.
Many residents in Langford say council doesn’t listen to citizen concerns and often appears to make decisions with little public discussion, Hurdle said.
“Since (the petition) many people have asked me to run. Almost every day somebody mentions it,” Hurdle said. “What I discovered a lot feel ignored, a lot don’t feel listened to
“I think the public is ready for discussion and debate at Langford council,” he said. “I think people are willing to vote for that.”
While the entire article is linked above, please not that Goldstream Gazette links typically go dead after a few months, so if you’re reading this well after the election and the above link doesn’t work then the article is likely no longer available. However, it will likely keep working until about the end of the year.
