MLAs

From Page 4

You get my drift. A lot of
cabinet ministers would be
going hungry.

But why not? if they can't
deliver, they shouldn't be do-
ing the job anyway.

Even tenured professors
have to grind out a minimum
number of papers te main-
tain their status. Shouldn't
MLAs have to produce
something besides hot air?

Bill Bennett was on the
right track when he decided
to give us all a fesson in
capitalism by giving out those

BCRIC shares. But he should
take it a step further and an-
nounce that henceforth, the
wages of the MLAs, cabinet
ministers, whips and leaders
— starting, of course, with
himself — will be indexed ac-
carding to the econamic per-
formance of the province as a
whole.

That way, the misery of
failure and the joy of success
alike will be felt where it
counts, namely in the kit-
chens and dining rooms of
the MLAs, most of whom
presumably have to worry
about shoes for the kids like
the rest of us.

Allin favor? Passed.

NO LETTER

THE DEFENCE lawyer
handling the lan Bleasdale
sex crime case erred in refer-
ting to a local director of
Oakalla prison as the pris-
on's warden during the
sentencing of his client.

As a result, an article in
ovr February (3 issue quoted
Donald Jabour as telling the
court that the warden of the
Lower Mainland Regional
Correctional Centre
(Oakalla) had sent a letter
commending Bleasdale —
charged with 16 sex-related
counts — for his behavior
while in Oakalla.

Henry B. Bjarnason says he
has not sent a letter to
Jabour on Bleasdale’s
behalf.

Investigation of the mixup
revealed that Jabour had
referred not to a letter but to
a verbal conversation he had
had with local director Stan
Hofseth, the directur in
charge of the unit Bleasdale
had been confined in during
his stay at Oakalla. During
the sentencing, Jabour had
tepeated|y referred to
Hofseth as the  prison's
warden.
