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

Re: Free tickets for dignitaries?, March 24

You have got to be kidding me. The city of Vancouver may be on the hook for tens of millions of dollars for bad decisions on the Olympic athletes' village, merchants are out of pocket or out of business because of bad decisions on the Canada Line and the cost of security for the Olympics is nearing $1 billion. The fact that city council has approved spending $257,500 to buy Olympic tickets for visiting "dignitaries" tells me that these people have either no clue or no consideration for their citizens.
