Wildrose releases alternative budget

For the third straight year, the Wildrose Party tabled its own budget for the province. Leader Danielle Smith says Premier Alison Redford wants to raise taxes in the future, but not until after she wins a new mandate from voters.

Smith says the big difference between the Wildrose and Conservative budgets, is that the Wildrose’s budget is balanced. To drive home the point of uncontrolled spending, the party has also established its own Alberta deficit clock.

She adds that every second, the government is spending $115 more than it takes in.
