The death of Former British Columbia premier Bill Bennett saddened me and I am sure very many British Columbians. We lost not only a a savvy and hard working politician and businessman but a great Premier and a good man whose example inspired loyalty from those who knew him and worked with him and respect from his enemies. His contribution to this province in the ten year period he was Premier in the seventies and eighties was enormous. Bennett knew how to respectfully treat taxpayers' money. Current Premier Christy Clark said it well.
