Hi Mr. Layton,
I reviewed your anti-casino mailer today.
I want you to know that not all of your constituents are anti-casino.
I'm 100% behind putting a casino in my neighbourhood. I'm tired of negative politicians turning down developments that would pump $millions into our economy and tax rolls. I'm tired of politicians that protect the 1% of people that are weak of self-control and moral decency to gamble within their means, at the expense of 99% of the population.
It seems to me that you and the perpetually cranky Adam "No-Fun" Vaughan, spend all of your time representing artists, low and no-income constituents. The people that pay for the services remain unrepresented. I pay the bills and have no representation at the local level.
There is more to the downtown core than artists and homeless street beggars. I'm a taxpayer and I want entertainment options. I don't need you to wag your finger in my direction and protect me from my own vices.
The far left and the far right have much in common. You both think you have the exclusive, righteous high ground and moral authority over the rest of society. You and Mr. Vaughan are really small town politicians with no vision. People that live in the core represent a cross section of society with different world views. The entertainment options I choose to partake in, are none of your concern. You are bereft of ideas that will generate tax $dollars for your pet projects, or transportation infrastructure.
You lack the ideas to be in a position to turn away $millions in jobs and investments.
I deserve better representation than you. I pay more taxes than most of the people that you represent, yet you exclusively vote for positions that advance the goals of people that fail to pay the freight.
John D'Arcy,
800 King St. West
