To the editor:
I was glad to see John Brewer's “Feeling ignored” and Andy Wolff's “It’s as bad as it seems” letters to the editor in last week’s edition of Thunder Bay Source.
I especially agree with their points on how the city overspends on mega projects, has poor planning, how its citizens’ opinions are ignored, and especially how “the city is not being run for their benefit ... it seems to be run for the benefit of the local construction industry”
City council seems to have champagne tastes, but doesn’t seem to realize the vast majority of us are on a beer budget.
Most of us don’t have their white-collar jobs, there are less with blue collar jobs and many of these have cut back hours.
Many more citizens are working several Mcjobs.
It is well past time for the mayor and city council to take off their rose coloured glasses.
If either Mr. Brewer or Mr. Wolff decides to run for city council, they have my vote.
