Vernon Mayor Sees Less For The City From NDP

Vernon’s mayor thinks the city may have to work a little harder to get to be noticed by an NDP government in Victoria.

Akbal Mund is giving the NDP the benefit of the doubt, but he knows since the riding is represented by Liberal Eric Foster, it won’t be high on the New Democrats priority list.

“It doesn’t hurt Vernon, but what it does do is when that money is given out by government Vernon will not be looked upon as one of the first to receive any.”

Mund says he doesn’t think Vernon will be ignored, but he can see grants and other support going to an NDP riding first.
