Mayors have never had full control of TransLink spending
The Editor,
Re. “Mayors demand audit of TransLink” (The Tri-City News, Jan. 20).
So Metro Vancouver mayors vote to increase taxes to fund TransLink for the Evergreen Line, yet they have no say in how TransLink will spend the increase?
This has always been the case so why are they surprised?
TransLink needs to be restructured yet BC Liberal provincial government refuses.
I’m glad I didn’t vote for Mayor Richard Stewart and I won’t vote for Premier Christy Clark.
