Letters: Flood of spending

City of Penticton, please stop the unnecessary and frivolous spending.

Penticton Western News Letters to the Editor.

Please stop the unnecessary and frivolous spending.

To spend $85,000 on an engagement officer, $45,000 for the privilege of controlling Campbell Mountain, and now, the latest brainstorm, an upgrade to the Official Community Plan at $250,000 is simply out of control.

There is a $175 million elephant (infrastructure deficit) glaring at us from the corner of the room.

Do you not think we should at the very least have a plan to deal with it before anymore questionable spending occurs?

These expenditures (I’m sure their are more) may seem like drops in a bucket, but drops do form puddles.
