I am disgusted to see many of the longtime tax-takers opposed to an event centre: a previous city manager, longtime councillor, former city grants committee chair, downtown Nanaimo business association board members and boathouse proponents.

When I look deeply at the 'No' side all I see are many fearful souls realizing they may or already have been cut off the public purse.

Right on to the new and improved City of Nanaimo. Keep pulling my hard-earned tax money from the self-interest types that have been taking from the majority of us for way too long. An event centre will benefit all of Nanaimo, just not the few.
