I got to see how this woman operates up close and personal during the flood. While our community was asking the gov't for clarity, and getting muted answers, Allison was busy firing emails to Elbow Park telling them they and their school would be taken care of (you can see that email in the flood thread). Luckily we had someone know someone in Elbow Park or we wouldn't have known much during those first confusing days.

She maybe a "good person" as Nenshi said today, but she looks out for herself and her backers. I saw that first hand, in Elbow Park, where I live and Dion's stories in High River. The DRP and Tervita was no surprise, especially after her other contract fiasco with her ex-husband. This woman, for a lawyer, should know better (and I bet she does, but feels its hers to take).

So ya, today is a sad day, I agree. I just can't figure out if it is because Alberta keeps getting these Bozos, or that we probably will have to vote them in again cause the competition is so weak.

At least we managed to flush her that fast, and maybe get someone better that at least gives me hope. Oh and Allison you can take that idiot Doug "Flood victims better not think of profiting on DRP" Griffiths with you too.

Griffiths held a town hall meetings with residents in High River last spring. His back would go up when residents started asking questions and then came his sarcastic and condesending remarks. IIRC it wasn't long after that when he had his cabinet position changed.
