Kelowna News JONESIE: Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas just can't help himselfImage Credit: The Office of the MayorOPINIONPeople are going to start to think I don’t like Kelowna Mayor Tom Dyas, since I really haven't had anything good to say about him. As far as I can tell, the city does not hire anymore contractors to produce and boost videos of Mayor Tom Dyas. He has someone to write all his speeches and press releases and shoot videos of him — not the City of Kelowna, not council — just Mayor Tom Dyas. The Mayor doesn’t have his own staff — those are City Manager staff, assigned to work for the mayor. Mayor Tom’s Kelowna averaged 4.28% yearly tax increases.
