Richard Bullock had five months left in term as ALC chairman, but he was fired anyway – There was no missing the whiff of vindictiveness this week when the B.C. Liberals fired Richard Bullock from the Agricultural Land Commission with just five months to go in his appointment as chairman.
They justified the ouster by citing the urgency for change at the overseer body for the Agricultural Land Reserve. But the breach between themselves and Bullock was a matter of public record.
The Liberals held the Kelowna orchardist in some regard during their first decade in office, twice appointing him to the Farm Industry Review Board, then elevating him in 2010 to the commission as chairman and CEO.
