GLEN CLARK, in his short stint as B.C.’s premier, has had a rough ride. Accusations about the B.C. Hydro scandal have clung to him since his first day as premier. Former Hydro president John Shechan said Clark knew about the dealings in the offshore company, which resulted in the termination of Shechan and chairman John Laxton. Then the release of the government's quarterly report saw the total provincial debt rise by $1.572 billion to $28.61 billion, making Clark's promise of a balanced budget seem optimistic. But NDP supporters point to the good the party is doing: its stand on environmental issues, inguiring the Westview Interchange and the recent focus on job creation rt and education. with a tuition initiative expected next week. reporter We asked: “Are you happy with your provincial government?" _NORTH SHORE DEMOGRAPHICS DON’T YES NO opINION KNOW . ae Horseshoe Bay 13% 82% 5% __.
