Government of Saskatchewan: |
|
Nipawin - September 1, 2000 - By: Mario deSantis | |
expense of the Saskatchewan people |
Our agricultural minister, Clay Serby, has been working hard to diversify our rural economy. |
And after the hogs and the hamburger patties have been given the green lights for their | |
economic growth at the expense of the Saskatchewan people, it is now time for this | |
government to play good psychology and to cover their assets. | |
|

Florian Possberg |
The pollution concerns raised by the building of huge hog farms by Big Sky Farms have |
been solved by the establishment of a committee which will address water quality, and | |
Florian Possberg, owner of Big Sky Farms, will be sitting on this committee(1). | |

exemplary models |
Another major change in the agricultural panorama is the appointment of Gordon Nystuen |
as Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food. Premier Romanow has praised the | |
multi-talented Gordon Nystuen and has stated | |
"Mr. Nystuen was born and raised in Spalding in rural Saskatchewan and... I am excited that Mr. Nystuen is returning to the public service as I believe he has an exemplary mix of skills that are ideally suited to leading the government's ongoing efforts to address the challenges facing the agriculture sector(2)." |
|
I find strong affinities between Premier Romanow and Gordon Nystuen; they both are | |
exemplary models for this government to cover their assets in the face of mismanagement | |
and corruption; in fact, Premier Romanow was able to cover his major assets when | |
David Milgaard threatened a lawsuit against him(3), and Gordon Nystuen was equally | |
able to cover his assets when he mismanaged some $40-million of taxpayer money in | |
the now dormant Saskatchewan Health Information Network(4) (SHIN). | |

Congratulations to our politicians and bureaucrats for their relentless work in good |
psychology and in covering their assets. | |
