EDITORIAL – City needs fewer appointments to the TNRD board

Kamloops council added Randy Sunderman as an alternate representative to the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board after his name was omitted from the mayor’s initial appointments list. The editorial says the city has seven full-time directors on the regional board, despite provincial rules tying municipal representation to population, and argues there is no practical reason for Kamloops to have so many. It also notes that council appointments replaced an internal election process.
