Democracy is dead in Kamloops


Democracy not alive and well in Kamloops. I say this because we have a City council that has tossed out a referendum on water meters. Why is it that people get elected and then think they now have a greater right than the people that put them there?

A project that spends this much should have been put to the people again. The article I read in the paper seems to suggest that this is free money from operating reserves, gas tax, etc. There is no such thing as free money; it all comes from the taxpayers of the city.
