Re. “Trustee moved out of PoCo, will stay on board” (The Tri-City News, Dec. 15).

Port Coquitlam school Trustee Judy Shirra is quoted as saying, “I still do more than other trustees.”

I’d have to agree. Trustee Shirra certainly does more travelling than other trustees on her $42,000-per-year stipend: a free trip to China, vacations in Palm Springs and commuting from her new home in Summerland to attend board of eduction meetings.

Do the right thing, Trustee Shirra, resign. The students and taxpayers of Port Coquitlam deserve better.
