Letter, May 18.
While it seems obvious that Olivia Chow should not accept a salary while running for a New Democratic seat in the upcoming federal election, it is even more obvious that Chow's constituents were misled into believing she was sincere in fulfilling her obligations to those who elected her as their city councillor. It appears Chow knowingly ran for council with one foot in the race for a seat alongside New Democrat leader Jack Layton (her husband).
Once again, this leaves taxpayers on the hook for the cost of an election and more importantly leaves a community which has come to realize it was used as a pawn for the sake of personal political gain. Sadly, most politicians continue to make decisions that are based on political aspiration and deceit.
