_Readers‘ Comer Counciliors _ Milton‘s Senior of the Year a must be accountable RE: Miltonians without a voice on committee: politician, Readers‘ Corâ€" ner, Champion June 30 issue Dear Editor, When someone makes a mistake, they have to pay for it. In business, when someone makes a mistake, they have to resign or be fired. When Council was deciding on building the velodrome, the people of Milton were told that it would be built on time and on budget. In the end, it was neither. We were told that it would not be a burden on the Milton taxpayer. The councillors that made those promises should be the ones to pick up the monetary slack and pay the difference out of their salaries, not the taxpayers. Also, these councillors should not run in the next election.
