Dear editor,
Considering Mr. Presley's now-public support of Mr. Phelps, I am wondering why it is that neither had the inclination, leadership, nor time to answer a very important question previously posed by me about whether the City of Courtenay balanced its budget nor whether the payables were in excess of the receivables by roughly $2 million in their budget of 2009, nor whether the payment on the annual debt is roughly $1 million?
Also, in a view to providing information to the public before the election, perhaps the question could also be asked why services needed by the City (lawyers, landscapers, road maintenance requirements, accountants, consultants, etc.) are not put out to public tender?
May I expect a reply this time?
Here's hoping there are enough issues needing resolution that the voters will get out in force to effect change.
Lynn Lewis,
