NDP Issues Warning to Local MLA

NDP MLA Adrian Dix was in Vernon Thursday to rally against the proposed Harmonized Sales Tax. Dix says only eight Liberal MLA's need to vote against the HST in order for it to fail. He says Vernon Monashee MLA Eric Foster should listen to his constituents."It's particularly important here in Vernon because at MLA Eric Foster has the lowest percentage of the vote of any MLA in the Province. I don't think there's any chance he would have been elected had he told people he would be supporting the vote to bring in the HST." Only a handful of people turned out to the rally at the bottom of hospital hill, but Dix says a large portion of signatures on the petition are from Vernon.
