With a stroke of a pen they were replaced with a single entity, a Trustee.<br /><br />The former minister, now a highly praised, but much maligned lately, a failure in the eyes of a petty Premier Christy Clark who forsees the need for a NEW DEAL in negotiations with The First Nations, ...... cut George Abbott off at the Treaty-Commissioner-to-Be-knees.<br /><br />Yeah George!!!<br /><br /><i><b>Education Minister George Abbott</b> has rejected calls for a byelection to replace fired members of the Cowichan school board. Abbott, who sacked the board earlier this year <b>for failing to submit a balanced budget</b>, said the district likely will be run by a government-appointed trustee until the next round of municipal elections in 2014. The board majority, which passed a deficit budget by a 5-4 margin, was “clearly looking for a political fight”</i><br /><br />Within two years every school board will be removed and replaced with a Trustee thereby saving $54 million which will be spent on perks for the Friend of BC Liberals. Oh wait, they're already doing that.<br /><br />North Van's Grumpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17571810726275726952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-8161838080094293982015-03-27T07:51:13.753-07:002015-03-27T07:51:13.753-07:00I've just been listening to CBC Victoria's...I've just been listening to CBC Victoria's discussion between Spector, Brown and Cull about the absolute cock-up she's made of the Treaty Commission appointment and the law which established the whole thing in the first place.<br /><br />It's well worth going online to get the podcast.James King, Victorianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7229885.post-24255212036478176742015-03-26T18:12:37.360-07:002015-03-26T18:12:37.360-07:00because every thurs is last day of week at the leg...because every thurs is last day of week at the leg.<br />so if your a no show 3 of 4 days means you are there 25 percent of the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
