'If they continue down the road of spending large amounts of our tax dollars on the wrong priorities, I think they may learn a hard lesson in the next election.'
The survey for the proposed move of Burnaby City Hall was another example of shaping the survey to get a predestined response. The three city-chosen sites were presented for ranking. There should have been a fourth option for ranking, which was "use existing site." Instead, the "none of the above" was used, and even then, the instructions were unclear, and I would have preferred not to rank any of the three and only choose "none of the above.
I am appalled that the city planner and staff would think that using 50 per cent of the city surplus on this bloated vanity project is good use of our dollars. The money could be better spent building a more modest new hall on the existing site and using the funds saved for expansion of Metrotown’s library and community centre, both of which underserve the surrounding and quickly expanding community.
