Letter: Understand your vote on C-Tran

The Columbian
Published: October 29, 2012, 5:00pm

A vote for the sales tax increase (C-Tran Proposition 1) is a vote that shows that you do in fact want light rail for Vancouver. It shows that you are willing to personally support light rail.

If you are not willing to personally pay for the maintenance of light rail in the future, then vote “no.” But I don’t want to hear you say later that I wanted it but I want someone else to pay for it.

We are all in this together.
