Dear Editor,

[RE: LETTER: Yennadon is too ecologically valuable to destroy, Nov. 6, mapleridgenews.com]

We are in 100-per-cent agreement with the writer. Unfortunately, the city will likely move ahead with their plan to increase the tax base.

As always, it is about money and city coffers.

Any employment opportunity would not be given to Maple Ridge residents.

The city would have a hard time proving that…

Colin Pearson, Maple Ridge
