Letters: Burnaby pools have needed help for years

"Bureaucracy always wins; the environment and the taxpayers always lose."

The Eileen Dailly Pool, seen here, is one of Burnaby's main aquatic facilities. This letter writer says it's past time for action on the city's pools.

Editor:

Hooray, Mayor Hurley for demanding action on Burnaby pools.

I wrote a letter to city hall 25 years ago suggesting the Eileen Dailly Pool could be covered with solar hot water panels and be paid off in seven years, with free hot water ever after.

Bureaucracy always wins; the environment and the taxpayers always lose. I hope Mayor Hurley gets his way.
