Re: “Vancouver mayor, councillors to get pay raise,” Jan. 8.
I recently read an article in your paper about the councillors voting themselves in a raise. I’m so against this I have to find somebody to write to or find a group who thinks just the same. For them to say their raise should reflect what a full time employee earns in a year to me is money-grubbing and cheap.
I was a full time employee for the city and I had to walk the picket line to get those raises. A lot of employees faced financial difficulties for it too while those councillors still collected their cash..
