In it, Falcon stated that, "We
are focused on controlling our spending and protecting our revenues to ensure
we can continue to deliver the priority programs taxpayers want."
Well here’s what I think after seeing another story in the news … this one on the
new prison, to be built in an industrial park on Osoyoos First Nations land,
that was of such urgent importance it demanded the personal
appearance of Christy Clark
It seems the somewhat obvious wasteful spending of Christy Clark's
photo op, doesn't come under the controlled spending Kevin
Falcon was referring to.

| Wardens, Deputy Wardens, and heavy equipment on hand for Premier Clark's announcement in Osoyoos |
You’ll note from the photo that appeared with the story (it was much
larger in a story released earlier in the day) that not only did BC Liberal Premier
Christy Clark decide she had to personally be there to make the announcement … she
also required a large contingent of BC Wardens and Deputy Wardens to be on
hand. PLUS … she also hauled in expensive
heavy duty equipment that won't be needed, or put to work, for goodness knows
how many months from now.
So much for controlling spending Kevin!
