Brent Atkinson by a whisker

This just in from Doris Fassbender, the Deputy Chief Election Officer for the City of New Westminster:

Following a two day judicial recount at the BC Provincial Court, New Westminster Registry, Judge Her Honour Alexander declared the results for the office of School Trustee for the 2008 General Local Election for the City of New Westminster. Brent Atkinson received 3665 votes and Vivian Garcia received 3663 votes. Therefore, Brent Atkinson was declared School Trustee-elect.

A close shave indeed!

Goes to show you. Even when you are not known well you can still almost get elected if you are endorsed by the DLC.
Sad state of political affairs in New Westminster.
Look out taxpayers here it comes. The next DLC endorsed budget will surely make those that did not vote wish they had!
Keep up the good work Voice!

What will it take for the voters in this city to wake up? The District Labour Council won't be happy until New Westminster is the undisputed high property tax capital of Canada.... Wait a minute! We practically are now. We're being milked like goats!
