The Editor,
Re: “With so much uncertainty, Surrey needs referendum on policing transition,” the Now-Leader online.
I fully agree with Surrey MP Ken Hardie’s guest column that a referendum is needed on the matter of the Surrey Police Force.
At first I was glad to see that someone with a higher authority than those at the municipal level is finally speaking out - it is easy to ignore fellow council members and the public but harder to ignore an MP. Then I realized how pathetic it is that the situation has to get so bad, that an MP is speaking out.
OUR VIEW: Safe Surrey councillors’ silence at budget meetings was shameful
Now I’m angry.
At what point is there accountability now, not in a few years, for the mayor and his puppets on council? The mayor is responsible to the citizens of Surrey and last time I checked, we are not a dictatorship.
I suggest all residents of Surrey who are as angry as I am write to council and demand a referendum – or the resignation of the mayor.
