‘Wasting our money’

Dear Editor:

On Feb. 9, I received a letter from the Township of Centre Wellington about booking an appointment to replace my water meter.

This is the third letter I have received from the township asking me to book the appointment. What a waste of taxpayers’ money. One letter would have sufficed.

Here is why I say it is a waste of taxpayers’ money. There is the postage cost, $1.24 per letter, the cost of the envelope, the cost of the paper the letters were printed on, the cost to print each letter, the cost to mail each letter (fold the letter, insert the letter in the envelope, etc).

It is sad to see our government wasting our money in such a way.

Anthony Martins,
