The Editor,
Re. “Pay, trans. bumps for PoCo pols” (Oct. 28, The Tri-City News).
I don’t understand why Tri-City taxpayers have to pay for three mayors when Vancouver or Surrey, which are more than double the size geographically, are happy with one apiece.
As a matter of fact, all Metro Vancouver is bloated with municipal politicians and bureaucrats, not to mention individual police, fire or other services.
I think it is time for some amalgamation.
If Montreal and Toronto did it, why not us?
The problem is nobody wants to give up their little empire.
