Public

I was just struck by a section header in a Tyee article:

"**When companies can’t pay, taxpayers do**"

Understandable, happens all the time unfortunately. Here is the problem: it clearly indicates 'companies' are not 'taxpayers'. If corporations were paying the majority of Provincial revenues, **it would be in their interest to prevent other corps leaving cleanup costs to #BC.**

Bam. Suddenly corporations would support cleanup bonding insurance.

BC Halts Plans to Make Polluters Pay for Cleanup Costs | The Tyee

The province billed its Public Interest Bonding Strategy as a key step to protect the public from massive cleanup bills. Now it’s on hold.
