Bowman Says Like Fenske, He Can't Get Meeting With Premier

It turns out that it’s hard to get a meeting with the premier even if you’re inside the Perimeter.

 

Winnipeg Mayor Brian Bowman said that much like his counterpart here in Thompson, he was denied a meeting to discuss important issues with Premier Pallister.

 

Bowman said that he wanted to talk about $7.9M in promised funding that hasn’t been delivered.

 

The news of Bowman’s inability to meet face to face with Premier Pallister emerged not long after Thompson Mayor Dennis Fenske was been denied access to the premier while he was in Thompson last week.

 

According to Pallister’s office, the premier meets with municipal officials throughout the year, though he expects ministers to "take the lead on matters pertaining to their portfolios".

 

Nine members of the Manitoba Hydro board resigned earlier this year saying that the premier would not meet with them, a claim that Pallister says holds no water.
