Letter: New West needs a new field of cost-cutting candidates in the next election

Anvil Centre, Massey Theatre are a drain on costs in a city with 'ridiculously expensive' property tax
Massey Theatre 2
The city should sell Massey Theatre because it's a drain on finances, says this letter writer.

Re: New Westminster must cut costs, not raise taxes so much, Letters to the editor, Nov. 22

I support Don Doyle's proposals to sell the Anvil Centre, close the Canada Games Pool and Massey Theatre permanently.

I would also close the library and cut staff and salaries to get costs under control in this ridiculously expensive property tax city. The only way to accomplish this may be to run a field of like-minded candidates with cost-cutting as the main platform to ensure follow-through, as enough is enough.
