In case you haven’t noticed, NVG over at the Blog Borg Collective is doing some really great work combing through publicly available documents online and is pulling out some really nice nuggets.
Like, say, the fact that Kevin Falcon’s travel expense account went through the roof just as the HST gov’t counter-offensive went into overdrive:
“Christy Clark was sworn in as Premier on March 15, 2011, Kevin Falcon as Finance Minister soon afterwards.
For the new Finance Minister:
Travel Expenses Paid (per month) were:
$169.82 in April;
$1,550.51 in May;
$1,408.24 in June;
$11,289.16 in July;
August we’ll just have to wait and see….”
There’s more like that if you just scroll on down the page over at NVG’s place.
