Re: Wong seeks council seat, Sept. 3
I recall reading an article regarding a young man running for council. Nicholas Wong stated he is running for council for not just four years but for 40 years. This comment had me wondering about some of our current council members. A number of our council members ran in last year's provincial election, with one being successful.
Unfortunately, following this election, this left the citizens of Delta shortchanged without proper representation from this seat.
So I have a question to all sitting and potential council members: Are you running in this November's municipal election with 100 per cent intent of representing the people of Delta for the entire four years, or will you try to move on to greener pastures at the first opportunity? Yes or no? Not maybe, or I'm not sure, or I don't know. Will you commit to complete the entire fouryear term? The people of Delta deserve an answer. Deltans deserve councillors who want to be here.
If your heart is not in Delta as a councillor, then do not run. The people of Delta deserve better. We patiently await your response.
