Paterson announces "step down" as President of VALTAC to run
for township council.
 "
My decision came after realizing that once again we were duped
by the Provincial Government who said they would deliver results of the
proposed South of the Fraser Transit and Transportation study before the
Municipal election" stated Sonya Paterson, when in fact the study
will not be released until July 2009 - AFTER
the Provincial election.
After two terms as
a school board trustee and recently resigned president of the Valley Transportation
Advisory Committee (VALTAC) , "it was time to Step it Up and run
for township council" says Paterson.
"Langley
is not getting its fair share of transit or transportation dollars"
says Paterson, "and I welcome the opportunity to make this loud and
clear as a member of the township council."
