From his website:

“I was first elected to Council in November, 2002. My focus on Council is on Seniors, Youth and Industry. I strongly believe and am committed to building strong relationships with First Nations and neighbouring communities so Prince Rupert can continue to support and offer services to the Northwest region.

I continue to work tirelessly as a community ambassador, always eager to participate in local events, both as a resident, and as a Council representative. I will continue to be dedicated to promoting our City, and speaking for all citizens, with a special interest in ensuring a good quality of life for seniors and youth.

I have gained much knowledge and experience in the last three terms on Council and I “thank” the citizens of Prince Rupert for their support and allowing me to serve them. I am committed and dedicated to listening to the concerns of the people of Prince Rupert. I am approachable, accountable and affordable. I am looking forward to serving the people as their representative on council for the next three years. I am committed to making sure the voice of every citizen is heard and represented on council, now and in the future.”

Hey,

Ok, so this guys name is Rob Vallee, running for Alderman in Prince Rupert. He is a past owner of DataBoy Computers here. He walked on his partners because he thought they were treating him badly. They were getting pissed at him because of the way he was running the company. He invited two employees to become partners then left the business after taking a draw on his shareholders account over time. That amount exceeded his credit by more than $5000.00.
Items one of his partners says are true-
He was audited a couple years ago and as recently as last year there were Canada Revenue agents looking for him at the store that he bailed out on.
He deducted money from employees for extended medical and when two of the employees went to the dentist they were presented with invoices that the dentist said they had to pay personally as there was no extended coverage for them. It is not known who ended up paying after all.
His partner who now runs DataBoy has had to pay off a number of checks and fees they incurred as a result of checks he bounced to suppliers. He also bounced some payroll checks as well.
He now runs a business out of a converted ambulance rather than a store front.

Problem, the public is unaware of how he runs his show and he is running high enough in the polls to the point that he will probably get in.
Yikes !!
