Dear Editor:
I am voting yes when the referendum ballots arrive in the week of March 19th. I am voting yes for the Mayors' Council plan to reduce congestion and improve transportation in our region. This plan is very likely to stimulate our economy and to improve our health and well-being.
Yes, I too am angry and frustrated with the provincial government's approach to funding these improvements. Yes, I am also angry at the lack of accountability of TransLink.
I will direct my anger towards making sure our elected officials and TransLink are held accountable. I will strive to get value from my household's small tax increase by demanding accountability from TransLink and government and by opposing any other increases in taxes, MSP premiums, fees etc.
