Tom Dyas PR costs

Tom Dyas made many promises to get elected in 2022, virtually all of which were reneged upon, some instantly. Among them; “Kelowna’s taxpayers deserve to have their hard-earned money respected and used for the betterment of our community not to promote the image and personality of their Mayor.” “As Kelowna’s next Mayor I will commit to banning all City of Kelowna advertising spend not related to public safety, community engagement and consultation, or required advertising by upper levels of government.” After being elected, among Dyas' first acts was to establish an office to tout him and his propaganda.

The brand new Dyas 'Office of the Mayor' contained a chief of staff, communications, and policy advisors. Dyas has someone to write his speeches and press releases, produce his online material, and to shoot videos of him. While estimating the total annual cost of that office is a road too far, we can say the knob hired to head Dyas' new PR function (K.Franceschini Communications Consultant) pulled down $92,188 + $582 in expenses in 2025. Gory, stomach turning material is here.
