The new Reeve of Piney is excited to get down to work. Wayne Anderson of Sprague defeated incumbent Duane Boutang in the election last Wednesday. Anderson says he has always been interested in politics and, now that he's semi-retired, he has the time to get involved.
Boutang says one of his priorities is that council becomes more connected to residents.
"I will try to, perhaps, get the taxpayers more involved in the things that council is doing, trying to let them know what's going on before we do the work and pass the resolutions and get their input into the things we do."
Anderson says one of the key challenges facing the RM is to attract more businesses and residents.
"Our RM is a very large RM and it has an aging population. We're losing our taxpayers. People would like to see some things happen here like tourism, get things moving and get more people moving into the area."
Anderson adds the other big thing is to get proper cell phone and internet service in Piney which will help attract more people and businesses.
