We have four wild-spending councillors who rationalize the proposed new tax increase by saying that the citizens of Campbell River have told them they want services maintained. If those councillors had proposed that services be maintained with a 25 per cent tax increase over the next three years when they campaigned last fall, I am sure the citizens would have given them a different answer.
I have lived in Campbell River all of my life and having recently asked a large cross-section of people about the proposed tax increase, not one person was supportive.
It is unfortunate we have to wait so long for the next election.
