When Delta council members give themselves a raise in pay they often use the term heavier workload than their counterparts in other municipalities. This may or may not be true, so why don't we have council prove it.

Council members should give us an accounting of all the meetings they attend that pertain strictly to Delta's best interests, leaving out the ones they attend to better their own image for election time.

The one report I would be most interested in is how many council meetings there were last year and how many of those did the mayor actually attend.

In the private sector, you are held accountable.
