Editor: I don鈥檛 understand why the recent pay raise 91原创 Township council received would amaze anyone. This is just the latest in an already too long list of abuse of power, not only at the local level, but also at the provincial and federal levels.

It no longer matters what is right or even constitutional, it matters only that the politicians can and will do whatever they like and then spin some story to justify it. Surely this has to be a rally call for the amalgamation of the Township and City of 91原创.

Please remember, these salaries will show on your tax bill. We as Canadians are one of the highest-taxed people per capita in the world. When will enough be enough? The politicians would say never.

Isn鈥檛 it about time you said something, yes you and you and you. Everyone is appalled at the low voter turnout. It鈥檚 because your vote no longer counts for anything, and this is why seemingly harmless special interest groups get their way.

It also explains how our province can toll a federal highway (Port Mann Bridge) and get away with it. The proposed toll robs people on minimum wage of five to six hours pay per week. That鈥檚 approximately two to three days per month. Let鈥檚 not even start with TransLink.
