Taxpayers ignored
Dear Editor:
RE: Community ignored (March 14) and ‘Arrogance of council’ (Feb. 15.
Letter writers Chris McLean and Sonia Day are spot-on.
Centre Wellington council has lost their way. The taxpayers who voted them into office have been ignored from day one. They gave themselves a pay raise; we have the highest taxes of any community; and they increased water and sewage rates.
The wants or needs of taxpayers are totally ignored for council’s self-interests or the interest of certain business people and developers.
It’s time the mayor stopped taking pot shots at the previous council and look in his own backyard.
Get back to being a productive council and do the job the taxpayers elected you to do for them.
J. Alexander,
