Conflicts?Ville
Bob Mackin has a post up at The Tyee that notes, as we did yesterday, that, based on the actual wording of the Conflict of Interest Act, the Conflict Commissioner, Mr. Paul Fraser, appears to have erred when he noted that he could not investigate Ms. Christy Clark's potential conflict of interest regarding her apparently being part of an RCI subsidiary, at the very least on paper, when she was sworn in as Premier in March of 2011.
And Mr. Mackin also noted something else interesting about Mr. Fraser's letter to Ms. Clark's chief-of-staff Dan Doyle on this matter, which is its date:
...The Fraser letter to Doyle was dated April 14, two days after Fraser's office told The Tyee in an email "if or when this issue is formally referred to this office, it will be dealt with. In the meantime, the Commissioner will have no further comment."...
Gosh.
Why the apparent obfuscation from Mr. Fraser to The Tyee?
And was it deliberate?
And why is Mr. Mackin still the only proMedia member in Lotusland covering this story without stenographer's pen in hand?

Bob Mackin might be the hardest working, most informed, independent political reporter in BC but he's not the highest paid.
People, there is a connection. The ones earning the most are serving special interests and don't even pretend otherwise.
Cannot disagree with you Norm.
Thanks.
