I read with interest a recent article regarding a wine-and-dine fundraiser for the Surrey Firefighters Charitable Association. Is this the same association that donated $32,000 to the current mayor’s election campaign as reported last week?
Isn’t it time the whole rotten can of worms, otherwise described as “municipal election fundraising” in British Columbia, is cleaned up, such as happened at the federal level?
And while we’re on the subject, how on Earth did the mayor’s team manage to spend $600,000 on salaries and wages for that campaign? Who received that windfall?
