Alberta's PR tab tops $25 million
Saturday, February 10 -- 09:10 AM
The Calgary Sun reports that the
Alberta government spent $25 million on
communications in 2005-06. "The bulk of that
went to pay for a $15.3 million 100-plus member
public affairs bureau, headed by a
$190,000-a-year managing director," writes
reporter Darcy Henton. In Democracy
Derailed, Kevin Taft calls for the
immediate disbandment of the Public Affairs
Bureau, which is widely referred to in
government circles as the Tories' "Ministry of
Truth." Read the article here.
