Is Premier Gordon Campbell Being Blackmailed?
With the next Provincial Election less than a year away Premier Gordon Campbell decided to announce massive pay increases for senior bureaucrats that includes a 43% pay increase of $105, 000 for Deputy Minister Jessica McDonald - bringing her annual salary to $348,600.
This is the second such increase in the past two years while BC minimum wage remains frozen at $8/hr for 7 years now.
The announcement was made mid-olympics which indicates to me that Gord hopes some of the revolt will be tampered by the Olympic distraction.
Is Gord trying to milk the province before he loses the next election? Or, is he trying hard to keep some dirty laundry from coming unfolded? If Jessica McDonald was blackmailing Gordon Campbell this would sure be a good way to keep the payoff on the books - because it sure seems like a stupid idea to give huge raises to top bureaucrats this close to an election.

Looks Like a Criminal,
Acts Like a Criminal,
Gordon Campbel is a Criminal!
He has hidden so much from the voting public that he probably is being blackmailed.
