He has systematically funnelled maintenance plan budgets into Ed glorification budgets ignoring the needs of this mysterious electrical industry he managed fool into hiring him as a CEO. Electrons are not his thing, dollars are! Imagine collecting 600k while ruining the reputation of the company he runs. He will make many honest employees liars before he is done. R Henderson broke the Nalcor golden rule of "lying first and spinning later", refreshing but career limiting he is just learning to lie after all.

The whole lot of the PC brass should do us all a favor and pack it in. The secrecy and misinformation the PC govt exhibits toward the people of NL is disgraceful. There are a number of individuals who have been pushing for this disgusting Mega project from day one who definitely have financial investments of a personal nature and to me that is criminal. And if it's not technically criminal due to their Bill 29 then it's down right unethical and immoral! I hope the liberals have an ounce or two of public service and aren't as greedy and self serving as this joke of a govt! NLers are going to wake up soon enough when the arse falls out of this sham MF. And our power bills skyrocket and sales tax etc, go through the roof to pay for this disgrace of a project. Corruption ain't the word for it!! We will be bankrupt in 15 years!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-66294244407446541662014-04-28T16:27:44.233-02:302014-04-28T16:27:44.233-02:30The current PC government, and their relationship ...The current PC government, and their relationship with Ed Martin reminds me of President Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. Like our most recent 2 premier's relationship with Martin, Rumsfeld seemed to call the shots over the president when it came to direction in the Iraq war. Bush would often defer to the decision, and wisdom of his secretary of defence. <br /><br />But eventually everyone knew that it was time for a change, that Rumsfeld had to go. The personal loyalty, and to some extent subservance that Bush had for his secretary of defense impaired his ability to do what was so blantently obvious to the most casual political observer. <br /><br />This is much like Martin now. His lack of experience, and poor decision making (in operations as well as Muskrat Falls) is now becoming obvious, his great communication tools not being able to spin public perception. The Liberty Report as well as the IE report has exposed some of the dirty laundry of the Nalcor organization. <br /><br />Rumsfeld eventually fell on his own sword... Bush did not ask for his resignation. <br /><br />What will it take for as a minimum a review of Martin's leadership at the helm of Nalcor?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-39617778576367733662014-04-28T10:40:49.363-02:302014-04-28T10:40:49.363-02:30I listened to the Premier's statement on VOCM ...I listened to the Premier's statement on VOCM last week regarding cost overruns on Muskrat but I did not get the sense, as did others, that he was prepared to shut down the Project. Marshall has a way of being glib; when you look at what he is saying, it is actually very little. Regardless of how bad things get the real story of Muskrat overruns will not be told until it is far too late. The Premier's completely inadequate Oversight Committee is the best evidence of that.Des Sullivanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02566013585647491614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235138415013046381.post-19121691184969239942014-04-28T10:26:56.804-02:302014-04-28T10:26:56.804-02:30Great summary!

However, I was expecting a commentary on the premier's statements captured last week on VOCM, where he clearly stated that once the full range of tendering for Muskrat Falls is completed , should the overruns go beyond the viability threshold for this project, other options would have to be considered. For Marshall to make such a statement is amazing. Even if you are not inclined to pay close attention to this entire fiasco, his comment would leave you confused and bewildered. I also believe, they know the project is doomed and this is an early signal as to where this is headed. <br /><br />As for Frank Coleman, little wonder that he is keeping a very low profile. If Muskrat Fall is shelved, who in their right mind would want to face the people of this province to explain how we got into this mess and more importantly, what it has cost the taxpayers. And then to face the electorate in a general election. I know nothing about the man, he appears to be sincere and to put his personal reputation on the line by taking over this mess from the clowns that created it, defies common sense and logic. <br /><br />Enjoy the articles. <br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
