Dear Editor,
Re: [Detachment the ‘right call’, The News, June 11]
With reference to Mayor Dingwall’s comments in the June 11 edition regarding a new RCMP building, I feel there are misleading observations from him regarding the ball diamonds, parking and art gallery but there is a bigger concern.
I remember the mayor and current council advocating a new firehall at a cost of $12.8 million, but I don’t ever recall them proposing to spend $18.3 million plus for a new RCMP building.
We do not need to detach from Maple Ridge. This insanity should be put on hold and made an election issue for Pitt Meadows in just over a year. It should be added as a referendum vote on the next election.
It’s just too much money.
Brian Moore, Pitt Meadows
