Letters: Get it in writing

Dear Editor

When a public delegate speaks to council requesting change, it is expected the delegate will provide written evidence to support their request. Should this standard of evidence expected of the people, not be the same for our city, councillors and mayor?

If I’m correct, the Lancer issue emerged nearly a year ago when Coun. Chuck Puchmayr said he had “complaints” from people regarding the Lancers. I recently heard Mayor Jonathan Cote state he too had “complaints” on the matter. Mayor Cote and Mr. Puchmayr – where are the emails, the letters or any written record of people coming to see you?

It is important to the credibility of our city officials that these two anti-traditionalists show New West their overwhelming evidence. Otherwise this is nothing more than a personal or political agenda.
