The Editor,
Voting "No" is not a vote against transit. "No" is a vote against all levels of government to remind them that the taxpayers are already paying too much. What is even worse, our taxes are being spent without due diligence and determining real value to our city.
A good example of this is Surrey council's decision to deny funding for a youth drop-in centre (Now March 5).
A centre would go a long way to establishing and maintaining a productive relationship with Surrey's youth. At the same time, our mayor and council are spending $200,000 to $300,000 on the "Yes" campaign - a campaign that has apparently alienated a large portion of this community. On one hand, Surrey's politicians have failed to show support for our youth and on the other, supporting a questionable campaign that is costing taxpayer dollars that could have been better spent.
