Surrey may be farther along in spending our tax dollars but they have not figured out how they are going to pay for this. Time to end the borrow, spend then tax scheme that is public transit. How much are the bankers paying the politicians to get us into hock?

If the NDP promises to make the translink board an elected body they will win by a landslide

Hiding in the weeds again Mayor Watts?You do remember that Translink was created by the former NDP government because the mayors in the lower mainland demanded control of what was once "B.C.Transit".Well,now that you have had that responsibility for more than a decade,take a look at the house of cards that you have built with your taxing and spending like drunker sailors.
BC Skulker is exactly right.Local governments are out of control,and almost out of reach.They are in bed with their public sector union buddies.They help them cover up the mess in exchange for being among the highests paid workers in the land.There is rarely any accountability in local government.They ignore their own taxpayers to argue over things like shark fin soup.Issues that should be decided by senior levels of government.These local yokels are just not up to the task.They want the glory if a project works,but hide in the weeds when things go off the rails.
For those who think Mayor Watts is future Premier material.I have to say that I just don't see it.Very personable.Good looking.And a good enough command of the English language to make it SEEM like she knows what she is talking about.But,just like Mayor Moonbean,it's all as phoney as the proverbial $3 bill. These people are in charge because no one with any real brain power wants these jobs.They are the most dangerous to our personal well being and our wallets than any other level of government.Bar none.
