Well last month I commented on getting a nice income tax cut starting January 1, 2011. Then our Premier Gordo quit and there is a vacuum in Victoria.
Now Gordo has decided to rescind the tax cut because he doesn't want to tie the next Premier's hands. Translation, the possible Premiers (and no one seems to want the job, Falcon, Watts etc all are telling Carole Taylor to take the job), want to cut the HST but they can't do both as there would not be enough money going into Victoria's coffers.
Reading between the lines, those saying they won't run and citing family reasons or whatever are really saying they know they won't win the next election so why fall on the sword. They will wait for the NDP to screw up as they are wont to do and then win the election in 2017.
Ah BC politics. Where's Amor De Cosmos when you need him.
