Dear Editor
Re: Why I'll be voting 'No' in referendum Inbox, New West Record, Jan. 23. While I sympathize with the views expressed by Dave Lundy I'm not at all sure I'll be voting No. In fact I'm not at all sure I'll vote at all, and that will be a first for me.
Why a referendum on this? Why doesn't the government, after consultation with the mayors and its own experts, just make a well-thought-out decision. Why waste money on a referendum, which they say they may or may not abide by? We didn't get one on the Port Mann. Didn't get one on fracking. Don't get one on a wolf-kill. Will not get one on allowing the pipeline from Alberta. So why this?
