Re: More pressing matters for MLA than 601 bus, letter to the editor, March 21

Hats off to MLA Vicki Huntington for her courage in taking a stand for seniors.

Huntington does an admirable job serving our community, and her record of service attests to that.

Your reader drips with sarcasm towards the elderly and she is not representative of the views of the vast majority of seniors in Delta.

When I read her remarks to a diverse group of 15 senior ladies, every one took strong exception to her portrayal.

They pointed out the service is not efficient, is infrequent and leaves vulnerable citizens often feeling bewildered on cold, drafty and intimidating platforms.

So, please, try to give a more balanced view in expressing your own opinions, and don't hide under the mantle of "and I am a senior."
