In 1990, we purchased property and in 1993 built a new house on Laurier Crescent near the hospital and Simon Fraser Lodge.
In those 29 years. our street has never been paved. But our taxes have increased annually, well over inflation and utilities have been doubled or more over the years we've owned our property.
Last year, city council held a referendum to replace the Fire Hall and the Four Seasons pool, knowing this year they were going to need another $32 million for another 11 projects and another $5 million for the roof of the Rolling Mix Arena. If the electorate had known all the facts, would they have approved replacing an unnecessary pool?
I've filled in all 11 forms opposing borrowing more money. City council needs to get a grip on their spending and priorities. How about just the basics like paving Laurier Crescent after 30 years?
