Potential cost to leaving Okanagan representative out of newly-formed NDP cabinet

[Castanet News]

The only Okanagan NDP MLA elected to the B.C. Legislature has not been given a cabinet position — a move one political scientist warns could come with a cost....

She hasn’t done a thing for anyone except herself
Senior citizens are living on the streets of Vernon like everywhere else
They call themselves the invisible because no one in government cares

Even her own party knows she has nothing to offer.

I contacted her office with regards to a 'senior' issue with government as that was her portfolio in the government in power. A staff member brushed me off and I was sent on a wild goose chase to the generic Services BC website.

Absolutely, only looking after herself and a good thing she did not get a full cabinet position. However, as Eby immediately gave every NDP MLA a significant pay raise by making them all parliamentary secretaries etc., she gets an extra $17,000 for taking on an insignificant role this session. I am sure her staff will be able to handle the extra work load.... did they get pay raises as well ?.... not mentioned in the article or by dictator Eby.

I'm not a fan of the NDP, but I think she would of been a better choice for Minister of Health than the one selected.

She knows what life is like in the health care trenches.

Embarrassing this clown got voted back in.. she literally is as useless as out mayor and city council

She is useless. She just wants the paycheck.

It’s called splitting the vote. What a shame.
