Amalgamation

Resident says governance changes needed to lower costs

In his June 28 letter to the editor, Mike Tindall made reference to the 91 city employees paid more than $75,000.

Another publication printed Stats Canada average weekly earnings for Canadians at $910 a week.

Mr. Tindall made a strong case for amalgamation to reduce the number of $75,000 workers that those of us earning $45,000 or less are required to support.

I have no issues with anyone making $75,000 or more. I would just like to see fewer of them on the public payroll.

Mr. Tindall concludes by saying, “Demand a referendum on amalgamation be included with the 2014 elections.” What a great idea.

How do you accomplish this and where can I sign up to help?
