Thank you for your
questions.
I am not the incumbent with
access to city planners and reports, nonetheless I agree
with the need for bus services. No candidate can provide
you with an exact timeframe. But, I believe your
concerns need quick action! You have been overpaying
taxes but not getting the services for which you have
paid (please refer to your TAXPAYERS BILL OF RIGHTS or
visit our website
www.waltermelnyk.com). I continue to try to empower
citizens with specific rights in order to get timely and
tangible results. Value for your tax dollars.
That
the traffic lights and other measures ought to be in
place FIRST, only makes sense if we truly want to
eliminate gridlock and other city problems. Please refer
to YOUR Taxpayers Bill of Rights.
You
have already paid for these city services. Where has our
tax money gone? Stop wasteful spending by city and
adhere to the basic city mandate. This is it's lawful
and historical mandate.
HBSCA , on a per square foot
basis, pays MORE taxes than other areas. Improvements
and maintenance must follow.
As this
community begins to receive quality benefits for money
(already paid), then together, in consultation and
collaboration, we can define its present and
future identity according to consensus as it
develops. It's what the PEOPLE think and say which is
important. The Bill of Rights guarantees participatory
democracy. Not "top down democracy" that you have been
getting till now.
