LETTERS: Voters lose say once transit tax in place

The Editor,

For all those considering voting yes on the transit referendum, just remember that once we allow this tax, we will have no say when it comes to raising it.

If you don't believe me, then ask yourself this: When was the last time you had any say in how much income tax you pay or property tax or sales tax?

Sure you voted the HST out (bad idea), but did you get to set the tax rate?

This tax will do nothing for Delta: We will still pay a toll on the new bridge, our transit won't be improved and many will be doing as much shopping as possible outside of this tax zone.
