LETTERS: What would Vassilaki do as mayor?

Maybe John Vassilaki was not your choice for mayor of Penticton, but would he have voted in favour of any of the recent council decisions.

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.
