Listen now
Description
In this week's "The Way I See It", the focus is on a recent decision by Delta city council to remove Mayor George Harvie as their representative on the Metro Vancouver Board. That also had the effect of removing him as the Chair of Metro Vancouver which will mean a significant pay cut. Was his removal warranted? Harvie was essentially non-responsive to calls for a snow summit after our regional transportation network ground to a halt in the winter of 2022. He was also at the helm of Metro Vancouver when a task force was appointed to manage the North Shore wastewater treatment plant financial debacle. Costs had soared from $500M to an estimated $4B. Did Delta council simply do what Metro Vancouver residents were unable to do through the democratic process? Should The Metro Vancouver Board of Directors put a halt to His Worship's all expenses paid trip Chair to Europe to investigate their diking system? Tune in to find out more!
