To the editor,

Re: RCMP make 27 arrests at ‘Schoolhouse Squat,’ Oct. 11.

A $100,000 cleanup for a one-day party? Any support you people may have had I’m sure is now cut in half. How dare you help yourselves to not just hundreds of thousands of tax money earmarked for elsewhere, but now steal the tax money allotted for tiny children. Shame on you. You are doing the real homeless zero favours with your presence.

Kelly Ray, Parksville
