REGINA -- The NDP government may speed up its plans for education property tax relief and provide additional help in next year's budget, Government Relations Minister Len Taylor said Thursday.
Taylor made the remarks following the arrival at the legislature of an ersatz Santa Claus -- the Canadian Taxpayers Federation's David MacLean -- bearing not gifts but a stack of petitions calling for an education property tax cut.

Dave, maybe this should be on your radar as well:

"SaskPower has been fined $32,500 for a 2003 workplace accident where an employee suffered electrical burns."
Seems the provincial NDP government, the savior of labour, cannot even adequately protect its own employees, one of its beloved Crowns having pled guilty to failing to ensure the safety of its workers.
The rumour mill seems to indicate that top management had significant knowledge of serious problems relating to lax training, improper procedures, and poor supervisory oversight amongst the workers who were performing the work.
Not only does government incompetence cost the taxpayers dearly, but a life was almost lost in this incident.
