Dear Editor:
The provincial economy -- the education part at least - is a brutal partisan game (Minister challenged to visit 'needy' district, Burnaby NOW, Feb. 17).
Burnaby kids get minimal dollars because largely, Mayor Derek Corrigan is an arrogant, loud-mouthed, staunch NDPer and, to a lesser degree, Hayes is also pro-NDP.
If you're pro-NDP and like Corrigan, you get least funding. If you're NDP but less aggressive and more reserved, you get intermediate funding. If you're pro-Liberal, welcome the 6/49!
The economy is mainly tied to one's partisan position, partisan philosophy. This explains better than Abbott did.
Thang Vu, Burnaby
