The SCRD should take a hard look at themselves. They have not been able to get the water shortages addressed and have now taken the egregious action of silencing the people’s voice.
There’s one issue at the top of the voters of Sechelt’s to do list, stop the band-aid approach to getting enough water for next summer and the next 30 years.
Our elected representative is simply doing what all those who voted for him are doing, seething with anger as we watch the rains flood into the ocean every winter.
The SCRD want to spend millions of scarce tax dollars on meters which they tell us will help but it won’t fix the water problems. It will only add to the tax base by controlling our usage.
We’re blessed to have all this water. The SCRD’s refusal to help and stop hindering the people who pay their salaries and voted for this mayor to do exactly what he promised and is being censured for, begs the questions. What did he say that was so awful and why can’t the committee accept his apology and move on for the good of the people?
We want our mayor at the table exactly because of his passion on the water shortage issue. People who care, get angry.
It looks from the outside as though the SCRD is complacent and needs to be pushed into doing more. So please, find a way to get along, for the good of us all.
Marg Atherton, Sechelt
