Policy
wouldn't stop payments
VICTORIA - The BC government
will go after legal costs incurred by government workers found guilty in
court, but that doesn't mean taxpayers are completely off the hook for
costs such as the $6M paid to convicted former BC government aides David
Basi and Bobby Virk. (CTV) |

Calls girls, cronyism and corruption
VICTORIA - Seven years after an unprecedented raid on the legislature
and an aborted trial, the public finally received an uncensored view of
the backroom shenanigans that occurred in the controversial $1B sale of
BC Rail assets in 2003. (Vancouver Sun)

Lobbyist in corruption case
VICTORIA -
A key Crown witness in the Basi-Virk case said
his lobbying firm was paid up to $10,000 a month by OmniTrax, a losing
bidder in the scandal-plagued sale of BC Rail, court transcripts that
were released Friday reveal. Under cross-examination at a preliminary
hearing in Victoria in January 2009, Eric Bornman was asked by a lawyer
for accused Dave Basi about the income earned by the lobbying firm
Pilothouse Public Affairs. |

Payments raising
questions
VICTORIA -
Sure, a lot was happening in the Liberals' first term. But it's hard to
see why a Crown corporation had to pay $297,000 to a Liberal insider for
help understanding the new government. (Times Colonist)

Lavish pay baffling
VICTORIA - The salaries that BC Rail pays its senior bosses continue to
astound.
Yesterday's column
discussed the $570,000 shelled out to president Kevin Mahoney last year,
to run a railway that's a piddling 39 kilometres long. The short line
from Roberts Bank to Surrey is all that's left under BC Rail's direct
control following the sale-lease of the main line to CN in 2004.
