TransLinkages

In the category of former provincial Liberal political aides bending the ears of their former bosses, Public Eye is pleased to provide another example: last month, Burrard Communications Inc. associate Forrest Parlee, a former executive assistant to then children and family development ministers Christy Clark and Stan Hagen, registered to lobby the provincial government on behalf of TransLink. Also representing the Lower Mainland transportation authority is Mr. Parlee's present employer, Mark Marissen.

He sure has moved his way up from selling hot dogs as a street vendor! Mustard galore!

Conservative Falcon wants to blow up Translink and they decide to hire Liberal Marissen to lobby the BC Government.

Another great decision by the executives from Translink.

I haven't seen a better bunch of elitist pork-chasers at TransLink since the good old days of George Puell.

umm.... really? Forrest Parlee was hired to bend the ear of his former bosses at the Ministry of Children and Family Development about Translink??? That connection doesn't make much sense, unless he was lobbying his former bosses about reduced fares for children at risk!
