Council's extravagance too much for taxpayers - Vancouver Sun Letters to Editor

Re: Sustainability should include taxpayers' ability to pay increases, Miro Cernetig, March 23

Miro Cernetig deserves much credit for his well-written and precise commentary of what is posing as leadership at Vancouver City Hall these days. This clean sweep that occurs every time there is a change of government is a practice that must end. It is both costly and unnecessary. Letting former city manager Judy Rogers go and paying her more than $570,000 was wasteful and showed a total disregard for taxpayers. And why would we have to pay former chief financial officer Estelle Lo some $450,000 when she left on her own? There's more than $1 million right there!
