Editor:
It’s convenient that the mayor of New Westminster has banded together with a coterie of “like-minded, but independent” councillors running in the next civic election under the name Team Cote and had the names listed in the newspaper – voters can cut the list out and use it as a reference for knowing who not to vote for when they go to the polls.
After three years of unbridled spending and tax increases well in excess of the level of inflation to pump up the wage packets of civic employees and fund some of the ugliest public art to ever appear in a cityscape, not mention a development policy that will ensure that one day the only people able to see the Fraser River will be the ones living in the “iconic” condo towers lining its banks, it’s time to say no to Team Cote and Co.
Enough is enough.
Ian MacNeill, New Westminster
