Dear editor,
Voting against the long-needed improvements to our recreation facilities at the Lewis Centre, Coun. Murray Presley says that the City shouldn’t be offering public services that the private sector can profitably supply. (Record, July 6).
Now, as the newly elected president of the Comox Valley Economic Development Society board, can Mr Presley be expected to reject public funding for that service — close to $900,000 from local taxpayers in 2011 — and instead turn to the private sector for financial support?
Tom Pater,
Courtenay
