Citizens need politicians they can trust

Editor: George Harvie's campaign is slick and well-funded but how well would he serve the public as mayor of Delta? His intervention on behalf of the Enviro-Smart composting facility shows his disregard for the thousands of impacted residents.

George Harvie's campaign is slick and well-funded but how well would he serve the public as mayor of Delta?

His intervention on behalf of the Enviro-Smart composting facility shows his disregard for the thousands of impacted residents. Harvie has abdicated responsibility for the retroactive golden handshake after championing the issue while city manager.

His decision to add Lois Jackson in the late stage of his campaign indicates poor judgment. In his campaign video Harvie deliberately plays down his cozy relationships with developers.

I have no allegiance to the other candidates for mayor and council. Nevertheless, I believe that the citizens of Delta would be poorly served if Harvie is elected. We need politicians we can trust to represent everyone in the community equally, make principled decisions and who have the respect of staff, residents and business owners.
