Time for election candidates to return CVRD salaries

Now that the provincial election is over it’s time for the three CVRD directors (Furstenau, Iannidinardo and Morrison) who were candidates to refund taxpayers their pay for the month-long B.C. election campaign.

During the past month they did little or no work for the CVRD or the community yet continued to take home their full CVRD pay and expenses while on the campaign trail. That is wrong and they are not entitled to be paid for no work.

For the past two years we have paid these three a total of more than $250,000 in salary and expenses (much of it tax free). It’s time for them to respect taxpayers and return our money.
