Jobs commercials blatantly political

Times Colonist
January 12, 2013

TV commercials showing the “dominoes of failure” falling across the globe and the U.S., but unable to topple B.C.’s formidable Jobs Plan, are blatant partisan advertising.

I have read the Jobs Plan; it seems pretty good. But we do not need the government spending our tax dollars telling us they are doing a good job. It is the voter’s job to tell them in the upcoming election. Let the partisan election machinery pay for the bragging and rolling out the promises.

Incumbent governments using our tax dollars for this is a form of corruption. It’s a practice becoming all too common leading up to elections.
