To the editor:
Re: "Marble Arch Shelter," Dec. 2 Mayor Gregor Robertson is concerned about the provincial governments withdrawal of $2.5 million in assistance to fund its winter homeless shelter program. As the program is designed to shelter 160 homeless individuals through four months of cold weather, the provincial share works out to $130 per person per night. Seems to me there must be others out there who stand to benefit more than the homeless in this waste of taxpayer dollars.
