A long-time Coquitlam resident, Ben Craig, is running for Coquitlam council.
In a press release issued this week, Craig stated that the cost of government is in excess of population growth and he wants to give city spending a "higher level of scrutiny."
As well, Craig stated that he is concerned about what he feels is the disconnect between city hall and the public. "I want to bring the stakeholders of this city back into the decision-making process at city hall," Craig further stated.
