The Editor,

Port Moody councillors Rick Glumac, Zoë Royer and Rosemary Small clearly do not respect the voters of Port Moody. These people were not elected to grandstand and use their council seats as a soapbox.

Smart meters, etc. are not under their control nor are the other issues they keep drumming up. Keeping services and taxes under control, smaller government and better use of our tax dollars are the issues that taxpayers want you to champion.

Mayor Mike Clay has been the only member of council to show any leadership on these issues.

Let's stand firm on the upcoming union negotiations; municipal employees are important but their pay and benefits are already too rich.

While councillors are at it, how about amending their smart meter motion to include that if you opt out of smart meters, then you can pay your share of the readers' time to come to your home and read your old meter?

Councillors should keep to the basics and get up to speed or resign their seats.
