FW: Tory leadership candidate Mark Norris


Subject: Tory leadership candidate Mark Norris

The article reporting on Tory leadership candidate Mark Norris 's and his urge for his rivals to, 'reveal who is funding their bids,' was interesting.

I assume he will do the same. Those that have donated directly to his campaign and the clients he has that are paying his consulting company, GLG Consulting.

It is better known as Grassroots Leadership Group, started in 2004 with contributions of $10,000 from each of 120 people. While he was a member of the government and a minister.

We are the only province that would allow a sitting member of the provincial government party and cabinet to own and operate a company or organization that is being funded by 120 people to consult, 'with services, and his legal advice says they can therefore claim tax deductions.'

I trust all of these 120 people will be listed on his list of campaign donors, or a complete public airing of who donated or invested in GLG.

And what they paid for and what they got in return.

Would it be too much to ask which if any of those 120 people may have bid on gonverment contracts and won, and if they were the lowest bidder?

This is the kind of person who wants to be premier of Alberta.
