2-Apr-07. Are casino boards a stacked deck? Edmonton Journal, A6.
The men chairing the boards of two new Alberta First Nations casinos are reported to be political veterans. Bob Westbury heads the seven-member River Cree Casino board and Peter Elzinga is the chairs the Alexis board. Liberal solicitor-general critic Mo Elsalhy said the appointments don’t pass the “smell test” because Westbury and Elzinga have access to political power and decision-makers that most Albertans don’t have.
