It was recently announced the Corporation of Delta's mayor and council unanimously voted in favour of the profit motive and against the interests of its citizens who spoke out overwhelmingly against this monstrosity.

It is very fitting "corporation" is part of the municipality's name as it walks hand-in-hand with its business partners while it steps all over the little people. Our bylaws and so-called North Delta Area Plan are no match for the shredder at municipal hall.

The approval of the application isn't what we expected from our elected representatives that were given the task of being responsible administrators. They lack the will to represent the ordinary folk of Delta, therefore they are not deserving of being our administrators.

If a referendum on this application were held, the community would overwhelmingly refuse it.

When the next election comes around in 2014, the mayor and council won't get my vote. Not any of them.
