At the risk of sounding repetitious, word has reached Public Eye that Martyn Brown, Premier Gordon Campbell's chief of staff, is once again rumoured to be stepping aside to focus on election planning for the provincial Liberals. But here's the interesting part: senior party insiders tells us his old job will be divided into two, with each half reporting directly to the premier. One will deal with staffing and administration - the other, communications and politics. Small business and economic development deputy minister and former Liberal president Andrew Wilkinson is expected to fill the staffing and administration job. And rumour has it that public affairs bureau executive director Andy Orr will take responsibility for communications and politics. However, government caucus executive director Steve Vanagas has also been talked about as a candidate for either position.
Hmmmm....seems that the cost of that stock, errr....job split would buy those drones in public affairs a heck of a lot of pens.
Alternatively, maybe Andy Orr could make like a pen and do a little PA writing if he gets the job....
Seems like a fair enough trade I reckon (ie. a $100K PR flack, give or take, vs. a $1 PR working tool, give or take).
Now that's what I call saving a bundle for the taxpayer.
