Christy Clark To People….

.
“Budget? Me Don’t Need No Stinkin’ (Office) Budget!”
I’m beginning to wonder….
Did the VSun’s J. Fowlie get a Holmanesque brain transplant recently?
Why?
Because he (i.e. Fowlie) sure been doing some top-rate, just-under-the-radar, FOI-based digging of late…
The following is the lede from Mr. Fowlie’s most recent proBlog post which makes the sub-header above as clear as a mudpack facial:

The communications chair from Premier Christy Clark’s leadership campaign has a contract with government that allows him to bill up to $10,000 per month.

The contract is with Don Millar, through his company Reception Point Consulting . That company was incorporated on June 19, 2011, provincial documents show, and Millar is listed as the only director.

A longtime friend of Clark, Millar has helped with Clark’s big speeches for events such as the B.C. Liberal convention in Penticton, the launch of the jobs plan at the Vancouver Board of Trade and Clark’s address to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities.

A document I obtained under the Freedom of Information Act shows Millar has a contract with Government Communications and Public Engagement (GCPE) running from October 1, 2011 to March 31, 2012…..


Did you get that last bit?
Mr. Millar is being paid not through the budget of the office of the (not)Premier, but instead through ‘Government Communications’ the seven figure sinkhole that is used to try and convince we the people to like things we actually hate.
The PABsters strike again!
