2007 Budget Consultation

One thing the the current BC Liberal government seems to be good at is asking people for their input. They're currently running a 2007 Budget Consultation. It gives everyone an opportunity to share their views on where the budget should spend more and less. It includes an on-line response form, so go and tell them what you think.
My input (in a nutshell): Spend more money on public transport and to support increased bicycle use. Try and fix healthcare spending before all the baby boomers retire. Ditch the highway expansion spending.
Once they get a picture of what we want, they can better figure out
what we'll actually settle for, without them having to give up much
if any of their own "wish-list". So don't get your hopes up too high.
Governments are like children - one word from the people supplying
the cash & advice, and they do what they like anyway.
