Gray misses millennium point Dear Editor: “Millennium projects worthwhile” (Match | News). As is often the case throughout his 38-year career, Herb Gray has missed the point in regards to the spending of taxpaye daliars. Coming from him, comments that millennium projects are no waste of money _ Monsiers Open letter to the North Vancouver District council: The Feb. 25 letter to the editor written by Linda McDonnell was very alarm- ing and calls for the North Vancouver District council’s immediate response as to just where this council mem- bership thinks that it is tak- ing the district with a matter that most residents thought had been put behind us — monster houses! It seems that with every passing day —~ we see strong deserve the utmost scrutiny. It is unbelievable that with a federal debt hovering, over $600 billion, plus Canada’s immense tax burden, the squandering of taxpayers” hard- earned money continues. It is even) more unbelievable that people like Herb Gray spend their time defending it. If, as Gray claims, the res!- dents of North Vancouver and elsewhere share his view that these projects are worthwhile, then they should have no trou- ble raising the money without the benefit of any largesse from the tax rough. Stephen Harper, President National Citizens’ Coalition rearing their heads evidence that as citizens, we must have “referendum and recall” to keep our “politi- cians” in line with reality. Councils and all govern- ments are elected to do as the electorate requires — and not as others, alien to our life-styles — intend. And I believe that this let- ter simply voices what 95% of North Vancouverites want: to live quietly in our well- established “way-of-life.” North Vancouver District council had better advise us, both immediately and pubti- cally, as to why it was so necessary to rezone our neighbourhoods, especially since this new council has been left with a lot of unfin- ished business from the pre- vious council — little of which we have seen it address since their election If, of course, that is council’s intent.
