Liberal grip loosens as BC towns fear cuts loom
Gordon Campbell pitches Liberal listening at the Union of BC Municipalities convention in Whistler while mayors and councillors warn of deeper damage from downloaded costs and service cuts. Ipsos-Reid shows Liberal support sliding from 64% to 44% in the North Interior and to 25% on Vancouver Island as communities demand a voice on billions for the Olympic bid and cash for their needs.

Campbell’s plan for rural British Columbia
Campbell must persuade amid municipal elections as Liberal delays on charter legislation keep communities coping with cuts. Unemployment rises in Cariboo and rural B C, with backbench MLAs failing to push action or an economic plan. Campbell should listen in Whistler and act on mayors’ guidance.
