VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – There’s more bad news for the “yes” side in the mail-in vote on funding for transportation and transit improvements.
More than eight in ten members of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business say they have a negative impression of TransLink.
The CFIB says the “broken trust,” as it calls the feeling, goes back to the parking tax fiasco of 2006.
Small businesses represented by the group also have little faith in TransLink being able to wisely spend any new money that would come its way. More than nine in ten say the transit authority has no credibility when it comes to being a solid stewards of tax money.
The organization says “We’re talking about giving TransLink billions more in taxpayers’ money. Yet their track record is littered with waste and mismanagement.”
