Inbox: Yes vote can help offset boomers’ bungled legacy

Re: “Plebiscite participation difficult to predict,” March 27.

If enough of us selfish, self-centred “no more of my money” boomers do vote No for the tiny 0.5 per cent sales tax, perhaps we can leave the following generations even more of a mess to clean up after us — on top of the $614 plus billion national debt and estimated billions in toxic messes like the Giant gold mine fiasco, as well as the catastrophic costs of climate change issues coming at them.

On top of all of this, the boomer-echo generation has been warned to prepare to pay for an exponential increase in health care costs to warehouse a tsunami of Alzheimered boomers.

Gee! I wonder if they’ll eventually find a far less expensive final solution to relieve that problem to help them pay for all the other inherited challenges we’re leaving them?

Just to be fair, I voted a resounding Yes to better transit and bike access.
