Re: New Westminster proceeds with plan to borrow $30 million, Record, Feb. 14
This letter is in regards to the proposed (plan) to get a loan for $30 million for additional electrical infrastructure to handle all this wonderful growth.
We are facing another substantial tax increase this year.
The loan bylaw is only giving the public from Feb. 11 to March 11, approximately 30 days, to respond by signing and delivering to city hall the “opposed” form. I feel the people who can afford to build, buy and develop “extreme profit” (developments) should be paying for the $30-million electrical upgrades.
City hall said the three-year plan of tax increases was for upgrades to all public utility services. Now a $30-million trap it seems is the way it’s being proposed and speeded along.
