Coquitlam Snapshot

Submitted by Anonymous on October 27, 2008 - 3:09pm.

One of the Lower Mainland’s fiercest fights for office is shaping up in Coquitlam, where city councillor and former Liberal MLA Richard Stewart will take on incumbent Maxine Wilson for the mayor’s job.

Stewart is painting the campaign as a battle about leadership in a community where capital projects have gone over budget and suffered from long delays.

He points to a Coquitlam pool that was budgeted to cost $13.8 million, but ended up 18 months behind schedule with a $20-million price tag.
