Editor:
Now that the Surrey mayor has been charged with mischief and could be facing jail time if convicted, is he not responsible for his own legal fees given that the incident of his alleged toe injury (toegate), happened while he was grocery shopping on his own time, not while he was performing city duties?
The taxpayers of Surrey should not have to pay his legal fees.
Is there any mandate in B.C. regarding municipal governments, that if a mayor or city council member has a criminal record, they cannot run for office or can be removed from office?
