Letter: The Q to Q ferry is an indulgence New West can't afford

Q to Q

Editor:

I see that Mayor Johnny and his band of spendthrift acolytes are at it again. After wasting … our dollars so far on subsidizing the Queensborough to Quayside ferry, they want to continue their profligate ways by flushing another $4 million (over five years) down the river, just to prove that if you subsidize something enough, it will be used.

All of this when New Westminster roads are amongst the worst in the Lower Mainland and taxes are soaring. My tax increase from 2018 to 2019 was 21 per cent ($2,515 vs. $2,069), all to support his fanciful whims.

We cannot afford these indulgences - will someone please save the taxpayers from this free-spending fool?
