Some council members have been there too long
Editor: It would appear to any right-thinking person that when councillors are already receiving tax benefits for travel purposes, an additional allowance for travel is not right. If they are accepting the new allowance, they should forfeit the tax privilege.
Steve Ferguson does not have the right to contribute his allowance, which are my tax dollars, to a charity. Despite his feeble attempt to appear generous, it is still the taxpayers of Langley who are paying — not him.
It would appear that Ferguson, Grant Ward and others have been on council far too long, and are now feeling a sense of entitlement.
