On December 6th, Coquitlam City Council will vote on a massive $75 MILLION DOLLAR spending package, costing Coquitlam residents millions of dollars in property tax increases.  This massive growth of government comes as private citizens emerge from the global pandemic with our cost of living increasing at an 18-year high. We MUST remind Coquitlam city council who their masters are. We must tell them they work for Coquitlam residents - not an ever-expanding bureaucracy!
