Reid-Linda-2  MLA Linda Reid – Richmond East

Rating at end of last election 2.1/5.0

Prevailing comment: Pig at the taxpayers trough? Click here for the news article on  the latest police investigation and call for her resignation due to alleged false expense claims.

Quote: “Our focus at this time must be on restoring public trust in our democratic institutions. I cannot see how that is possible when one of the individuals (Reid) named by this whistleblower is still holding a position of power and oversight in the Legislature.”

Further: “In January 2014, an internal report warned Reid that Craig James received a massive $257,000 payment to which he may not have been entitled.  Instead of taking action, it appears Reid did nothing — and the report mysteriously disappeared from the Speaker’s vault during her tenure.”

Prior to this: A police  investigation into $67,000 she spent on her constituency office.  Then $5,500 of taxpayer money improperly used for her husband to travel to Africa. On top of that, another police investigation when a staggering $120,000 was spent for office “renovations” as speaker. Then $50,000 on an unnecessary computer, $48,000 on a desk, and $700 for a “snack bar”.  As a taxpayer, what are your thoughts about MLA Reid ?
