Maybe John Vassilaki was not your choice for mayor of Penticton.
If you look at his track record, and how frugal he was, maybe he would have never voted himself a pay raise, medical benefits and $1 to mail your hydro bill.
I thought this was the cost of doing business.
I see they say they have 17,400 customers — so how many do they really mail? And, how many are on the email list?
The city has spent more money in a short period of time on nonsense compared to what it will cost to mail some bills out.
By the way Mr. Mayor, not everyone can afford a computer and the internet to receive the bills. They are having a hard enough time paying the electric bills as it is.
Not all seniors have a computer or know how to work one and can you see some 85 year old trying to get to the library to get a bill in the cold and freezing winter.
Give your head a long hard shake. You will be a senior one day. Most of them are on a fixed pension and $1 is a lot to them.
John Vassilaki would never have allowed this abuse to the taxpayers of Penticton.
