Dear Dave:

Pennsylvania Congressman Keith Rothfus decides to talk today about corrupt Medicaid companies that were providing poor service to families in some States & yet were allowed to continue to operate in others. An excellent point to be sure.

"It is unacceptable that XII (12) percent of Medicaid providers terminated from a State Medicaid program were found to be unlawfully participating in another State's program."

Dear Dave:

We seem to have gotten Congressman Pat Tiberi of Ohio interested in discussing a point on job creation, something sorely needed by the rather New Democratic government administration & to be fair, the Progressive Conservative one that proceeded it here in Alberta. Putting families back to work makes Ohioans want to contribute again.

"It's easy, if you want to grow the economy, encourage job creation, & increase federal revenue, you support making bonus depreciation permanent. Permanency gives job creators the certainty they need to plan & invest in their businesses, including hiring employees."

I do indeed agree with the findings of the Office Of Child & Youth Advocate Alberta that the number of suicides rates among First Nations youth is particularly troubling. Seven in terms of this report & countless more before & since, with a half-Uncle of Cree origins on my late mother's side, I find even one First Nations youth dead troubling, even staggering in its sadness to me, especially as First Nations culture provides such a richness to Alberta's mosaic. I do also find it troubling that we are given unlimited cash & resources to the Syrian refugees & their children, but we are ignoring the problems of First Nations youth & their families on reserves, as well as Albertans in general.

She is a credit to the journalistic trade & I want to thank her personally as well as her newspaper team for taking an interest in my quest to honour my late mother June, a retired school teacher & University Of Alberta Education grad with the "June C. Koopmans School" in her name. Its entitled: "A dutiful son campaigns for his mother."

It makes journalistic sense & is a great family piece about the bond between a mother & her son, which even death cannot separate & we own an acreage in Parkland County where Yasmin's newspapers work out of. I didn't ask for mom to die, but she did die & so having a school in her name would be the greatest thing in the world for her educational legacy! Its less than a month or so until Mother's Day I believe so it really would do our family proud to see this come to fruition!

Dear Dave:

An Editor's Note: Your caucus colleague the Hon. Rachel Notley, B. A., LL. B., MLA, Premier & President of the Executive Council & Minister of Intergovernmental Relations, New Democratic, Edmonton-Strathcona informs me that with the way grocery prices are rising that $45,000.00 of the $90,000.00 for the production costs for the speech from her home kitchen was for the cost of the fruit in the bowl next to her. It was well worth it as she bought only organic fruit from the Old Strathcona Farmers Market.

Your caucus colleague the Hon. Sarah Hoffman, B. A., B. Sc., B. Ed., M. Ed., MLA, Deputy Premier & Minister of Health, New Democratic, Edmonton-Glenora might just be craftier than the Christmas gift that keeps on giving, year after year over four decades later: "The Watergate Tapes" recorded on glorious audio cassette by then XXXVIIth President Of The United States Of America Richard Milhous Nixon, Republican-California.

In her letter standing down from office, ex-Chief Executive officer of Alberta Health Services (AHS) Vickie Kaminski alleges that Minister Hoffman & her deputies were giving voice operational commands & command codes without any accompanying paper or email trail. Which is actually quite unethical if true as even secret cabinet or ministerial orders are required to have written paper backup, standard parliamentary procedure (just ask Democratic Presidential contender Hillary Clinton of New York & her XXII (22) home based computer emails which should land her in jail but which she'll get pardoned for by XLIVth President Barack Hussein Obama, Democratic-Illinois (Kenya) for on his last day in office.) Now if true, I'd like to point out that there is no audiotape of the Minister or Boss Deputy Minister Carl Amrhein saying such things (although for a PH. D. himself, Carl clearly has zero idea of what the in hell he is doing you might notice!) Then we have Cowtown Mayor Naheed Nenshi stating that the Minister never said such things. As a result, we must give the Minister & her staff the benefit of the doubt since a "he said versus she said" situation.

While AHS is okay for the most part & Chairman Linda Hughes & her Executive team are quite excellent, the entire organization needs to be cannibalized. I mean take a look at statistical fact analysis since AHS was created by then "genius" Minister Ron Liepert, Progressive Conservative, now a Conservative MP (how I will never know) & his fellow academic master then-Premier Ed Stelmach, Progressive Conservative. When Alberta Health had complete operational control of all health department functions under the auspices of a Deputy Minister & that Deputy Minister was always a Medical Doctor, red tape was less. Billions a year less in fact was spent & patients were seen faster & treated in a more expeditious matter. Its time to return to this formula. It seems to me that this is the best format in which to reconstitute the health concerns of Albertans, even if it costs a couple of hundred million in severance to say farewell to the AHS Board.

Maybe They Should Make Vickie Kaminski The New Federal New Democratic Party Leader As It Doesn't Take An "MD" Moniker To See That As Long As Tom Mulcair Is Leader That Party is In Life Support!

Especially smart when you consider XXI (21) murders in Chicago, Illinois in XX (20) hours this weekend, or a new dead body every LVIII (58) minutes. Or here in Edmonton a couple of weeks back where we had VI (6) murders in V (5) days.

Hon. Dave Eggen, B. Ed., MLA, Minister of Education, New Democratic, Edmonton-Calder

Dear Dave:

In her last term of office, Michigan Congresswoman Candice Miller is still working hard to make a difference for students. She does so by being supportive of career & technical education.

"I am so honored to have been able to visit the Tuscola Technology Center & meet with both the teachers & students who make this facility what it is: a life-changing opportunity to receive valuable job training that will successfully launch individuals into today's job market."

Dear Dave:

Straight from the broadcast booth, Congressman Robert Dold of Illinois gives radio listeners the inside track on his support from a parental point of view. Albeit it from a parent that has a vote in the House Of Reps & therefore can influence educational reforms.

"As the father of three children & the son of a school teacher, working to ensure quality education for children in all of our communities is a top priority of mine."

Dear Dave:

Down on the family farm this fine Sunday is Georgia Congressman Jody Hice. Jody takes the times to comment on agricultural issues for families.

"I will support responsible federal agriculture policies that give our farmers the tools & continuity they need without growing federal bureaucracies in the process."
