LETTER: Yes to new tax but no to TransLink board

Dear Editor: I agree wholeheartedly with the mayors' council's idea to increase the PST by 0.5 per cent to fund future transportation infrastructure in Metro Vancouver. However, there must be a caveat that this money raised is spent wisely.

Dear Editor:

I agree wholeheartedly with the mayors' council's idea to increase the PST by 0.5 per cent to fund future transportation infrastructure in Metro Vancouver. However, there must be a caveat that this money raised is spent wisely. In my mind that means turfing the unelected TransLink board immediately. Why should the people of B.C. throw more money at this unwieldy regressive bloated board of outrageously highly paid bureaucrats?
