Duane Bratt on the Wildrose dividend plan in this article.
As far as the post from crazy joe above, do you have anything to show that we were never below the provincial average in spending? I seem to recall an alternative budget graph produced by the WRA that showed that we were below the other provinces in the early 2000's (the graph didn't go further back than that). While we increased after, I think that most Albertans agree that was for the specific reason that we needed to try to keep pace with the enormous population influx the province was seeing.
We still face a fairly well documented infrastructure deficit in terms of education in particular where numerous articles have been written about the state of our schools. We basically have to spend money to fix that kind of thing, unless we press everyone into home-schooling I suppose.
