Dear Editor:
Fifty years ago I dropped Economics 100 after only three classes — I could see it was no place for me. Also I have not done my own taxes for 45 years.
The other day I heard that TransLink had bought a building for $17 million (of our money) then sold it for $8 million, a net loss of $9 million. Then they leased the same building for thousands (of our) dollars per month and now they have bought the building back again.
I heard a TransLink spokeswoman say “It is a good deal for the taxpayers.”
Evidently, an example of their financial expertise? Will someone who did take Economics 100 explain how I — a taxpayer — stand to benefit from this, before I vote No?
