Candidates should make sewage opinions known

I would like to thank the Times Colonist and other contributors for the four recent commentaries on the controversial sewage-treatment issue.

I would like to thank the Times Colonist and other contributors for the four recent commentaries on the controversial sewage-treatment issue.

At this critical juncture, two articles concluded we should push on with the McLoughlin Point proposal and the other two articles argued that it was time for a reset.  

Numerous letters to the editor and to municipal councillors, well-attended public meetings and petitions show the public is engaged in this important and expensive issue.  

Municipal elections are about six months away. It is vital that electors cast their votes knowledgably. Thus, it is incumbent on all the municipal representatives who sit on the Capital Regional District core area liquid waste management committee to state their voting patterns to date and their personal opinions on “whither Victoria’s sewage treatment?” In fact, all current and prospective municipal councillors should state their personal views on Victoria’s sewage treatment issue.
