Compare amalgamation to sewage treatment
Times Colonist Letters
November 28, 2014
The subject of amalgamation is not much different from the subject of sewage treatment in the Capital Regional District.
One group wants to keep doing what we are doing now — things are working fine as they are and everything will be OK.
A second group wants to centralize everything in one place — their experts know best and will make it work somehow, whether others like it or not.
The third group wants to optimize things to suit the situation — propose innovative solutions based on thorough environmental, social and financial analysis — and residents will decide what is best for them now and in the future.
Based on the recent election results, it seems most voters support the third group. Let’s get on with it.
