Council needs more like Joe Mauro to get the city on track Your Feedback yes By Letter to the Editor on May 15, 2021. Editor: It floors me that the Lethbridge City Council is proceeding with a budget that has us spending hundreds of millions of taxpayers money, after being told that we want our taxes to decrease and unnecessary spending cut out. For decades, the only person who seems to listen to a large group of us, who have consistently asked for less spending, is Joe Mauro. Unfortunately, he was disgusted enough to walk away from the committee meeting where the budget was being discussed and I am fearful he will walk away from council altogether, where he is the only representative for somany of us.
