NDP Budget Promises Clash With Surplus Projections
A columnist argues the NDP touted two balanced budgets while Finance Ministry warned of deficits. Elizabeth Cull and Andrew Potter allegedly forecast a 1995/96 surplus that never materialized, with a 150 million shortfall and potential 1 billion deficit. Proposes cutting 3,000 public service jobs and reallocating funds, including possible raiding of the Forest Renewal BC fund. Critics say reforms and prudent fiscal management are needed to restore credibility and prevent higher borrowing costs.
