To the editor:
Donna Barnett's March 21 page A3 story where she defends [Premier] Christy Clark's poor performance brings back memories of the [Cariboo-Chilcotin MLA] defending [former premier Gordon Campbell's] very poor record, along with defence of the Harmonized Sales Tax.
Donna, please remember the job you are paid very well to do is to defend the taxpayers not the politicians. You work for us. Why you need to be reminded of this mystifies me.
A very large part of the voting public has had it with your government and still you publicly defend it.
Also you state you are "stuck" with maintaining the [Insurance Corporation of British Columbia] after the NDP implemented it. I believe the gripe concerning ICBC is not due about your government maintaining it, but rather about using it as a piggy bank to fund revenues in general.
You, more than anyone, should know better than printing half-truths, and sadly this just makes me feel you think of us as being foolish.
