Seems it was Mike Farnworth's decision to force the metro cops on the citizens of surrey, despite a clear vote otherwise. It's a gutsy move to nullify the vote of the public, and an expensive idea to fund a police service from his own budget.

...because that's what he needs to do, now.

The City needs to say "this is your budget. You get No More. And don't try to pad it with some cost-splitting on fines."
