by Vaughn Palmer: VICTORIA — Opposition leader Adrian Dix sent an important signal Wednesday with the announcement that in the event his New Democratic Party wins the election, he’ll name Don Wright as the senior public servant in the B.C. government
….Wright is a Harvard-educated economist who has long served a variety of B.C. administrations, NDP and Liberal, rising to the rank of deputy minister and handling some of the thorniest files in government, from teacher bargaining to softwood lumber negotiations with the U.S.
…He recommended a tax on raw logs to discourage exports.
