Letter to the Editor: Vote the bums out

I like to walk each morning. I once read our best thoughts come while walking. This morning, while walking along Spring Creek my thoughts turned to the City of Moose Jaw Mayor and Councillors and their pending pay raise. My Best Thought, “Throw the Bums Out!”

And that includes the Dude who voted against the raise but has not said he will not take the money.

Throw them all out this fall! 

It is outrageous. Businesses ae going under — Main Street stores sit empty — construction in the province is down — the oil business is in trouble — tourism is down — the school board prides itself in cutting workers hours in tough times, AND — oh yes, there is a COVID-19 pandemic like no other that has destroyed the hospitality industry; hindered fitness businesses; forced many of those operating businesses to do so on half capacity. AND there is no sign of the pandemic ending soon.

AND the Bums vote themselves a raise on re-elected! 

Throw the Bums Out!
