TORY LEADER MAKES GUARANTEE: NO BOONDOGGLES

Nova Scotia’s Tories are promising to introduce a “no-boondoggle guarantee” if they are elected in the May 30 provincial election. Progressive Conservative Leader Jamie Baillie says any time a government project exceeds its budget by more than 10 per cent, that would trigger an automatic internal audit, the results of which would be made public. “It’s a guarantee to the taxpayers of this province that when their tax money gets squandered that they’re going to know about it,” Baillie, pictured, said Friday in Halifax.
