Profession:  Retired Business Owner and currently a Sales Agent for local businesses and a Kelowna trucking company. After retiring I opened the Village Coffee Lounge, which ran for four years. I am the president of the FOE #20 New West.

The top three issues important to me are: 1. Business taxes. 2. Wages, benefits and productivity.  3. Fair Living Wage. Three issues does not do it, there are several. Traffic, Transparency, Roads and sidewalks, displaced bus zones, biased labour contract negotiations....
