Harmac a plus for Nanaimo

To the Editor,
Re: Banning stoves, not an answer, Letters, Dec. 20; Harmac mill’s pollutant tops any wood smoke, Letters, Dec. 1.
I hear all these people complain about the pulp mill. Have any been out there to see what goes on?
The mill workers are paid a decent wage – as are the spinoff jobs for longshoremen and woodworkers.
The mill pays high taxes for little service while the city promotes tourism with its low paying jobs five months of the year.
As well, the cruise ship centre, convention centre and airport are nothing but a deep hole for taxpayers.
