Dear Editor
The byelection win last week by an independent candidate over a candidate endorsed and supported by the full might of pro-government coalition is truly remarkable.
This was the first New Westminster local by-election in over half a century. The voters, as we can see, took this rare voting opportunity seriously.
I hope our government – school board and city council – will take the byelection result as a request for serious changes in the way the city and school district serve the needs of city’s citizens, parents and students.
