Editor: I have been a resident of Lethbridge since 2000. Just wanted to voice my concern aboutc ouncilman Joe Mauro and his continued absenteeism. His track record for missing meetings is concerning, but yesterday’s walkout was especially disheartening to say the least. Views aside, I don’t think someone should get paid if they don’t show up for work at taxpayers’ expense. The public deserves the person elected to at least attend mandatory meetings. In his absence he represents no one as his representative vote is what people elect him for. If he doesn’t show up for work he shouldn’t get paid, much like any other profession in our community.
