Dear editor,When the Scouts or Guides or a peewee hockey team or a dance school or any such group needs funds for an outing or tournament or some such, they hold a car wash or sell cookies and we all praise their efforts.How come, a dozen or so enthusiastic bicyclists feel entitled to tax funds for their project?Why don’t they have a fundraiser and then donate the finished product to the city?Democracy may not be perfect but, it's the best we have. Democracy, the greatest good for the greatest number.Finances are limited. It's time we stopped caving in to these vociferous minority groups and spend the limited funds on necessities.Not sure?Ask the general public.G. Russell,Courtenay
