Clark draws fire for taking B.C. Liberal Party stipend above her salary
VICTORIA — Premier Christy Clark is defending her annual stipend of up to $50,000 from British Columbia’s Liberal party, on top of her $195,000 annual salary.
“It’s been publicly disclosed since 1993,” Clark told reporters Wednesday about a policy the Liberal party called a long-standing tradition. “I guess I would have happily disclosed it last year if you’d asked me.”
Clark was fending off attacks from NDP Leader John Horgan, who alleged she benefits from donations at high-priced Liberal fundraisers.
