Re: Unexpected costs require levy: mayor, Dec. 30.
Regarding Surrey Mayor Linda Hepner, she is either being untruthful, because she knew full well that there would be extra costs for policing and operating recreational facilities but did not disclose it to we, the voters, in the last election campaign; or incompetent, if, having been on the former council, she was unaware of the costs.
It can only be one or the other, there is no other honest alternative.
Now she is imposing a $100 tax/levy on every Surrey household, with no regard to ability to pay.
Shameful, she and her fellow teammates. If she thinks we voters will forget all about this by the next election, think again!
There will be a movement to bring it before the voters in the next campaign, guaranteed.
You can fool some of the people…
