The last tweet says it all "THE GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT".

‏Quite a discussion on Twitter about all this. If Plecas wants $108,000 for Mullen because he needs a second residence no one should be questioning it because there is an RCMP investigation of James and Lenz. Similarly, when the Liberals asked today how much money Oppal was making the request was denied. You know . . . RCMP investigation.

Replying to @richardzussman
I heard that Plecas is suggesting his budget is less than other Speakers but is demanding his friend Mullen get $108,000 to offset his need for a second residence @robshaw_vansun @VaughnPalmer @WoodfordCHNL

Fizzled?

The management meeting is set for January 21st and Plecas has promised to provide details at that time. He has said that if we're not outraged and if we don't feel like throwing up he'll resign as Speaker. He's going to do all that without in any way impacting the criminal investigation now being conducted by the RCMP.

Standard play, hope people forget the lies you told yesterday as you prepare for tomorrow's lies.

Someone slipped Ex-Lax into Plecas' drink.

Maybe his plan is to announce the dribble nude. Enough to make anyone throw up. LOL

Okay, so tomorrow is the big day! I hope the media remembers to follow up on this story. Related to the money laundering?

Barf bags at the ready!

T minus 6 hours and counting … can't you just feel the excitement building. Kinda reminds me of the 60's sitting in a field gazing at my belly button.

[Carrs Landing Viking]

Sitting here waiting to "throw up".

[dontrump]

I have a feeling this was a personal and illegal witch hunt controlled By Plecas and now hes going to try and convince the masses he did it for the tax payers of BC

[Smurf]

I think we should all stand in a circle around Plecas.

That would be a circled jerk.

Hey, I missed this

VICTORIA — When the legislature assembly management committee reconvenes later this month, one order of business is deciding whether to provide a $180,000 funding top-up for Speaker Darryl Plecas.

Plecas believes he is entitled to the money for research and other resources by virtue of his status as an independent member of the legislature.

He has put the New Democrats, B.C. Liberals and Greens on notice that he expects the full amount to be included in the budget for the financial year beginning April 1.

The money would be in addition to existing funding for the office of the Speaker ($400,000), plus amounts Plecas already receives for constituency funding and travel ($100,000 in first six months of this year) and his own salary as MLA and Speaker ($160,000).
