Today in Victoria BC, Provincial Foxy Finance Minister Carole Taylor released the details of the BC 2006 Provincial Budget.
“The focus of the budget is children, there’s 421 million dollars over four years including 72 million to add more social workers and front line staff.” CKNW
The budget is notable for two serious things and some other things that are not so serious.
Bad press about useless youth and child services = more money and focus on such like. Serious.
Province turning a corner on a localised recession and so this is the first real ’spendie’ budget (possibly on the backs of the down-trodden, who am I to say.) Serious.
In the not-so-serious catagory. “Baby needs a new pair of shoes”. In keeping with tradition, the Finance Minister sports a new pair of shoes on budget day. Usually loafers, brogues and oxfords on the dour feet of the folically challenged get passing mention on budget day. -But Baby!- $600 Gucci pumps complete with the horse bit logo. Bling Bling!
So guess what the radio news focused on? Shoes, legs, related topics. Then the Speaker of the house says ‘Baby’ he better not be talking about any one present in the Legislature. So sure we in BC have a FMILF with gams from here to Revelstoke but the children! The Children!
that woman’s teeth are TOO LARGE! Freakishly so!
FMILF. Very nice.
I assume the 2nd ‘F’ stands for “filibuster”?
Budgets and Guccis and gams, o my!
To havril, re the ’second F’: “Mom I’d like to filibuster”?
Finance Minister Id like to Filibuster, Actually
