To the editor:

I would like to ask a public question to the mayor of Langley.

After an article in The Record, I found you have accepted a salary increase.

How can you justify accepting a salary increase from the city to $51,000-plus?

In these times of recession, and you having the income from your barber shops, as well as from the city, I don’t think you can justify that acceptance.

Would you please, publicly, answer?

Rick H. Smith
