Local Liberal fundraiser fails ‘smell test’


Waterloo-Wellington MPP Ted Arnott says that the Kitchener-Conestoga Provincial Liberal Association is blatantly selling access to key Provincial Cabinet Ministers with its fundraising event tonight.

“According to today’s Record, this fundraising event promises ‘up close and personal time’ with three Ministers including the Finance Minister Greg Sorbara in exchange for a $250 ticket,” said Mr. Arnott. “This is wrong. No one should have to spend $250 to have their idea or concern considered by the Provincial Government.”

“It’s no wonder they’ve only been able to sell 55 tickets with this kind of underhanded sales pitch. This is the kind of thing that turns good people off of the whole political process,” Mr. Arnott concluded.
