Sorry to divert from education for a minute, but there were a couple more spending promises from the ND, oh I mean Wildrose.
The first is for the elimination of school fees. The Liberals have also proposed this same policy.
The other is another tax credit for parents putting the kids in sports and arts.
Pretty clearly the Wildrose is ready to spend money and buy some votes now. Still no release on the cuts and how they can balance the budget in the wake of this spending (which is to say nothing of the administration of these inefficient and unwise tax credits).
Like I've said before, its a miracle. A party has come together that will now be able to reduce taxes for families, balance the budget, cut spending and improve services all at once. If thats not enough though, the spending cuts are all in areas where we won't even notice. Its a miracle. If the polls get tight enough they might even have a way to inject oil back into the ground so that we never run out!
