Why should the firing of Agricultural Land Commission chair Richard Bullock matter to you? Because exclusions of land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) can make property developers a great deal of money, and Mr. Bullock was determined that agricultural land should be used for agricultural purposes, standing in the way of friends of government who want to make a lot of money.
How do I know this is true? A prominent BC Liberal, a politically appointed Ministerial Assistant to the Minister of Finance, pled guilty in court to taking a $50,000 bribe to get a specific piece of land out of the ALR. Imagine how much money that developer knew he was going to make if he was willing to pay someone in government an amount that for many people is more than a year’s salary.
A top BC Liberal admitted to this under oath, the land was removed, and the developer saw the value of the land in question drastically increased.
