The mayor of Kamloops, B.C., has been ordered by the city’s fire chief to remove a burnt-out vehicle that’s been parked at his business for more than a year — but he’s refusing to do so.
Mayor Reid Hamer-Jackson has refused previous requests to tow the torched wreckage from the Tru Market dealership lot he owns on West Victoria Street.
“Where am I going to put it?” he said in an interview with CBC News on Tuesday.
The back-and-forth is the latest instance of Hamer-Jackson clashing with other city officials.
The mayor said he is already storing several other vehicles at his home, and doesn’t have space for more.
