Town Duped into donating to BC Liberals?
quote:

The BC Liberal Party has been funneling municipal tax dollars from B.C. towns into party coffers, according to financial reports filed with Elections BC.

An official from one of the towns claims his municipal government was duped into donating to the party. Other times, the situation was clear: several town officials have since told The Tyee they were using taxpayers’ money to buy access to the premier and provincial ministers.

Either way, the Liberal Party has been using its position in power to garner public money and fund its current election campaign.

BC's sponsership scandal? Or should I say access scandal?

1. Disgusting, bound to hurt them
I'd say this is the most serious breach of rules yet.
