The Editor,
Re. “Who says civic employees’ pay has to keep up to inflation?” (Letters, The Tri-City News, May 31).
I am very happy to see that it appears that big money and unions will have less of an influence on provincial elections.
Now, if only we could keep them out of our civic politics.
I always thought it was wise for the unions to support city council candidates during elections as they really seem to get great value for their campaign contributions. Let’s not forget about the developers, too, they’re nobody’s fool either.
Let’s hope that one day civic politics can be cleaned up.
