WELCOME TO A PREVIEW OF THE SOUND OF MONEY
Starring Darrell Dexter as Premier Von Trapp, Karen Casey as Maria Von Trapp and various members of the Nova Scotia Legislature as the sweet but mis-guided Von Trapp children.
Hear Premier Von Trapp sing, "How Do You solve A Problem Like An Audit"!
How do you solve a problem like an audit?
How do you make an invoice disappear?
How do you solve a problem like an audit?
The AG's away let's hope it a trip for a year!
Thrill as the group sings, "My Favourite Things".
Cameras and printers and big coffee makers,
Big bonus pay outs and new generators,
Collecting double for each lunch we eat,
These and a few of the things that are neat!
You'll be overwhelmed with such hits as, "Climb Every Mountain"
Climb every mountain,
I'll never miss
I will always get there
With my GPS!
Yes the hit of the season. The songs will stay in your mind as long as the Debt these people built up over the years hangs over your head....forever.
The good news is tickets will be free you've already donated enough to the cast via their expense accounts.

The entitled are entitled to their entitlements. When you make the rules behind closed doors it’s easy to look after yourself like this. The question is, if you left under clouds of suspicion would you walk away or face criminal investigation, possible prison and loss of you pension? We paid $9000 for a $1000 generator for Hurlburt. Where did the rest of the money go? Wilson’s employees say they didn’t get those fat bonuses. Where did the money go? Why isn’t the Premier calling in the RCMP? Could it involve a super high-end camera, high cost laptops and self-preservation? Who got what and where did the missing money go? That’s what the public wants to know yet there seems to be very little interest in finding that out being shown by the bunch on Hollis St. Has anybody else refused to appear before the AG or gone and refused to answer questions? How many others are talking to lawyers and checking their pensions ready to bail out? If it’s any consolation this is not the worst example of pensions. That goes to Fred MacGillivray and his pension plus reported payout exceeding a million. Not bad for running a hotel and a rink that lost money annually is it? They love our taxdolars!

The Lighter Side Of Darrell Dexter
Hey don't worry about it Nam it's only tax dollars lots more where that came from! Man you should have seen Sydney Steel, I've got a loooong way to go to match that!
NDP Premier Darrell Dexter and Nam Sang
Tae, CEO and President of Daewoo share a
Laugh!
Is this the start of another Sydney Steel? Mercator (Gerry's boat)? Clairtone TV? Gulf refinery? Heavy water plant? To quote Sonny and share....and the beat goes on, and the beat goes on. One question we have to ask ourselves (and it would be nice if Darrell would answer it) is why?
Why are we giving a company this rich tax dollars? If this was a truly feasible venture it appears they could do it from petty cash.
Profits last year were over 150 million. Again, why? (From Deawoo’s financial statement) South Korea’s Daewoo International Corporation on Thursday reported its all-time high revenue and operating profit gained last year. Daewoo International announced 2009 cumulative revenue of 11.148 trillion won (or $10.08 billion CDN), larger than that of 11.046 trillion won in 2008, via its release of tentative annual earnings for 2009. The corporation’s operating profit for last year upped 9.6 percent from 156.3 billion won ($141,334,172 CDN) in 2008 to 171.3 billion won ($154,898,250 CDN). The company said it has reaped record revenue and operating profit, adding that it has also sustained a growth streak for five straight years from 2005 to 2009.
Daewoo International’s earnings are analyzed to have reached all-time high led by strong performances in the primary material industry such as steel and metal. The info is from their web site http://www.daewoo.com/english/index.jsp
WHY???

If you're not outraged you're not paying attention (Rick Howe)
They’re getting away with it!! The list is long and detailed but they have pared it down to Dexter's legal fees. What about Hurlburt who charged us over $9000 for a $1000 +/-generator? Where did the "extra" $8,000 go? How many auctions took place in Bedford that Goucher donated a carload of printers and cameras? Samson in Arichat who ate supper then double billed us? Is it true: in Nova Scotia if caught you return stolen goods and you're off free; that the suspects investigate themselves and decide if the police are needed? Not if it was you and I! Darrell Dexter, like the rest, wanted only the best when the taxpayer was paying the bill now that he’s paying? $250 annually non-practicing dues are fine. He made the choice for the higher fees let him pay back the $3,250 annual difference at least. What should also bother us is the fact that nobody federally, MP’s Stouffer, Savage, MacKay, Keddy etc. nobody with clean hands in the legislature and no local politicians, Wardens, Mayors, Councillors have spoken up calling for a proper investigation. The white wash job seems acceptable in all the halls of elected officialdom.
DON'T LET THEM WALK AWAY FROM THIS! Speak up. Sign the petition @ http://www.governmentripoff.com/ demanding a full police investigation and justice for the Nova Scotian taxpayer. It was and is YOUR money not theirs, demand full legal accountability!

PS
A former Conservative MP once known for his tough stance on drugs received a "break" when cocaine possession and drunk driving charges were withdrawn in a plea bargain, an Ontario judge said Tuesday.The deal, with Rahim Jaffer convicted of the lesser offence of careless driving, sparked an angry exchange in the House of Commons after Liberals accused the government of hypocrisy.In convicting Jaffer and fining him $500, the Ontario court judge said he would not interfere with the joint submission by Crown and defence."I’m sure you can recognize a break when you see one," Justice Doug Maund told Jaffer.

Hold your politicians feet to the fire and you will get better government

Rebuttal to Kelly Regan’s demand that we have faith in our elected officials.
Kelly Regan tells us we must have faith in their elected officials. No Kelly, they must earn it: they’ve destroyed it. Liberal’s in particular.
Liberal Premier John Savage told us amalgamation was cheaper. I doubt if even he believed it. Logic would say no. It was a matter of the Liberals downloading provincial financial responsibilities onto the city taxpayers. He was told that there were studies (it’s in Hansard) from Toronto, that showed super-cities to be economic disasters but he ignored them.
He replaced our Trans-Canada highway system with toll highways despite collecting hundreds of millions annually in gas tax, licensing, registration fees and GST on cars. Ottawa’s Liberals and three Liberal run provinces signed onto the GST deal that took $1.8 billion more from people in those provinces ($600,000,000 in Nova Scotia). This demands faith?
Add P3 schools, costing us a fortune and I notice are part owned in some cases by EX Liberal party executives. This demands faith?
The Conservatives. Conservative Premier John Hamm spent his short time as Premier creating new user fees and jacking those already there sky high. He was one of the better examples, in my opinion, of the politician who, at election time can shake your hand, look you straight in the eye, call you by your first name and say whatever he thinks will get him a vote. They do this because they know legally campaign promises don’t exist after the election. Morally or ethically perhaps but we don’t see those traits in our elected officials to often.
Premier Rodney: What do you have to say about that bunch after you say Ernie Fage?
Now the NDP who take the gold medal in hypocrisy. They forced an election because the PC’s were going to use money, set aside for the debt, in general funding. After they were elected they did it themselves. Their excuse (from one long time NDP’er), “it had to be done”. If that’s the case why didn’t they let the PC’s do it and save the cost of an election?
The NDP, while sanctimoniously condemning the other parties from the position of third party and opposition, had their snouts into the trough just as deeply as the rest. Now that they are caught?….WE’LL look after it. WE’LL have the speaker investigate the speaker’s office and an Ex MLA look into the rest and WE Will decide if police action is warranted. How many ways can you spell conflict if interest? No matter how many there wouldn’t be enough to cover what is going on in the Legislature right now.
Add to that the election contribution scandal with it’s many twists.
Before Ms. Regan so casually tells us to have faith in our elected officials I would suggest she go to my petition page via http://www.governmentripoff.com/ and read some of the hundreds of comments put there by the public .It will amaze her how out of touch with them she and many other elected officials are.

Lipstick On a pig award
This Lipstick on a pig award is co owned by Premier Darrell Dexter. The Speaker of the House and Art Donahue
The arrogance or perhaps attitude of our elected officials can well be seen in the remarks Art Donahue made on the news. He gave the impression that all was well and the scandal was behind us. Of course he added there are a few who want to see them (MLA's) stood up against a wall (and shot?). Bull! What the vast majority of the people want to see is a full investigation by the RCMP, criminal charges laid where possible and justice for the taxpayers. In other words to see their elected officials treated the same way we would be treated. Full credit to the speakers office who is investigating itself, Art Donahue, and Premier Darrell Dexter they are doing a great job with the whitewash brushes and giving a strong impression that all is well, that all is fixed and that fairness and justice have won out. Don't let them bury this issue. Sign the petition at http://www.governmentripoff.com/ demanding a full police investigation and use any and all sources like these comment pages to keep the demand alive in the media.
Congratulations to Mayor Peter Kelly and the City Council on their decision to keep the RCMP and Welcome home to:
