Nelson-Creston’s Green Party candidate is suggesting an NDP election promise is a populist move that would hurt rural taxpayers.
Kim Charlesworth says the removal of toll fees on two major bridges would take vital infrastructure dollars away from all British Columbians.
The NDP thinks all BC taxpayers should pay for infrastructure like bridges and not burden only certain users.
Charlesworth figures at least a partial user-pay system reminds taxpayers that infrastructure comes at a cost.
