Budget-Crunch Justice

Read news stories, each week, that you won’t read anywhere else, by surfing to The Tyee, British Columbia’s “feisty online” presence.
This week there’s one story (well, two, actually) of which to take note.
Chris Tenove’s penetrating interview with B.C. Attorney-General Geoff Plant on the provincial government’s rationale for the deep cuts to Legal-Aid that were introduced in the first year of the Liberal government’s mandate, and the follow-up human interest story on the troubling consequences of those cuts, constitute must reading for anyone concerned about the actions of the provincial government these past 32 months.
Take particular note of the comments published by readers, following both the text of Tenove’s interview, and the follow-up story on the impact of B.C’s Legal-Aid cuts.
