The Editor,
I can't believe the blatant arrogance of Mayor Linda Hepner. It's bad enough Hepner and her Surrey First Party decided to break the taxpayers' piggy bank on a new city hall.
As taxpayers scream for more policing and security, we watch the body count rise, along with the cost of the new city hall.
Taxpayers are now on the hook for a $162 property tax increase because there's no money left.
Surrounded by 100 "Yes" people at a press conference, the mayor has decided to pick the pockets of the taxpayers once again to the tune of $200,000 to $300,000 to cram their decisions down our throats, rather than ask her supporters for donations.
The "No" vote is set to crush the "Yes" side because people are waking up. Hepner has no right to spend our money on her partisan politics - along with her hefty $50,000 TransLink salary comes the TransLink arrogance and entitlement.
I hope you'll join me in insisting we get our portion of the wasted funds taken off our upcoming property tax bills when Surrey says "No."
John Houghton, Cloverdale
