Dear Editor:
Re: NDP Turns Up the Heat on BC Hydro File, April 20 by Keith Baldrey.
These games that politicians play are sickening. Why don’t they think they should answer to the public? Are we not the ones that they are working for? The BC Hydro mess has been in the making for years and is only going to get worse. The fact that it isn’t going to get better anytime soon is devastating for me as a consumer. Look at how many private river projects were given the go ahead to produce power when it was not required; and now sit back and wait to sell the power to BC Hydro. BC Hydro, a Crown corporation owned by the taxpayers, had to sit idle and not go out and get new power because all these private owners needed to make money. It is heartbreaking to know that members of our elected government enjoy lining their friends’ pockets with dollars instead of passing benefits to us as taxpayers. It is time to turn BC Hydro around before it goes bankrupt. Contact your elected MLA and voice your disapproval of this mess! Let’s keep our power ours and hopefully rates reasonable. Keep up the good work Keith Baldrey and hopefully some day, somewhere, someone will pay attention to what is happening in Victoria. Let’s not re-elect those who are not working for the people of our province. Until then, keep after them to do their job for this province.
