Well there he goes again, Kelowna Mayor Dyas addressing us like we are the dullest stars in the sky, telling us that it is a coincidence that the three councillors he dismissed from the regional board just happen to be the same ones who voted against the 35 per cent salary increase for mayor and councillors which Dyas approved.
Dyas has told them since they don’t need that increase he is taking away the $17,000 they make as board members.
This is real schoolyard stuff.
Dyas, the small business owner with the “my way or the highway” attitude, is clearly out of his depth, is rattled about events occurring around him, and feeling challenged by councillors who do not fall in line with his thinking.
His apparently vindictive behaviour is an indication he cannot handle the job. This is always a sign of weakness.
He doesn’t stand up for us. I have listed how he caves to staff and developers, and then issues some incredible explanation. Tiresome and damaging.
After 18 months his leadership is proving calamitous, so thankfully for us there is a member of council who will be a very capable successor to one-and-done Dyas, if he so desires.
