Letter by Dan Haverty to the Sooke News Mirror, July 16, 2003

Editor:

Regarding the upcoming referendum on our sewer plans: I believe a sewer system in Sooke is going to benefit Sooke as a whole and everyone should be involved in paying for it, not just the few people who will be on-line to begin with. Eventually, as the years go by, most everyone will be on-line.

I am fortunate enough to have two properties in Sooke. One is in Broom Hill and will likely be involved in the original setup. The other is in Saseenos, which likely won't be on-line in my lifetime, but I am willing to pay the extra taxes on both places to get the ball rolling.

Sooke is known for its volunteerism, so let's everybody "volunteer" a bit of their taxes for the benefit of making Sooke a better place to live.
