The City of Surrey hides costs incurred by taxpayers for the Surrey Regional Economic Summit by refusing to disclose the expenses of speakers or security. In fact, such costs are controlled by a private entity that is compensated to organize the summit without public scrutiny.
The Surrey Regional Economic Summit is another glamour project for the current Mayor and City Council, with no benefit or connection to Surrey residents.
Proposal
Close the Surrey Regional Economic Summit and direct any previous corporate support towards social development programming for youth.
