CASH SPEAKS

I see where Kash Heed, BC's Solicitor-General, has returned the $440,000 that was originally lopped out of the budget for domestic violence programs.

That about face happened because of the wide and vocal response from the media and concerned citizens.

But are we to leap in joy and jubilation?

Heed has simply put back the meager cookies that were stolen in the first place by His Grinchness, the Mean Premier.

$440,000? You've got to be kidding.

That's lunch money.

You want real oversight, real front-line social workers, really trained police officers and courts?

Try $25 Million to start.

These folks aren't serious.

Should we buy 12 balloons or 16 for Jenny's birthday party?
