Just how stupid and gullible does a certain Vancouver reporter think the people of Sechelt are? She recently launched a scathing, one-sided attack on Sechelt's mayor in a story that was full of misinformation and innuendo. Shame on her for not interviewing people with opposing views and knowledge.
And thank you for turning off investors with substantial funds who have been meeting with the mayor and have been considering projects that would benefit our community considerably. You and the 60 or so malcontents are single-handedly sending money away from our town.
But apparently, none of you like money. You accuse the mayor of spending too much on his campaign for a low-paying job. Aside from the fact that studies have shown spending a lot on a campaign does not mean you will be voted in, why would we want people running who are desperate for a low-paying job because they can't get other work?
Focusing on the mayor's car is just one of many cheap shots. Even the shallowest of research would have uncovered that he does not use the charging stations at municipal hall and never has. He has a plug at home.
The mayor only has one vote. Last time I looked, there is no presidential veto. So is this reporter intimating that other councillors are not individuals who vote with the best interests of Sechelt in mind?
The question is do the bullies have Sechelt's best interests in mind? I think not. They have their own distasteful agendas quite apart from our community.
Thomas Forsyth, Sechelt
