Local Tory stalwart Len Simms didn’t get the memo.
The former Provincial Conservative heavyweight, now holding down the heavyweight pork-post as head of Newfoundland AND Labrador Housing Corporation is praising the federal government’s stimulus package.
According to voice of the cabinet minister, Simms will have more than double the money to spend on interior and exterior renovations to public property – but hanks to federal cash.
That would be the evil federal government that always does nasty things to Newfoundland and Labrador.
Well, that is, the feds do that at least in the mind of the guy who funnels beaucoup provincial cash into Simms’ bank account.
Simms, you will recall, left his pork-post just long enough to run the Provincial Conservative campaign in 2007. Just think of it as a form of in-out scheme.
There’s the in part of the scheme.
There’s the out part.
But the back “in” again part is apparently a double-whammy of salary plus pension.
