Premier’s $100K donation defense should anger all of PEI

|
By Paul MacNeill 
| Peicanada.com
Rob Lantz was enjoying perhaps his best week in what was an excruciatingly difficult spring session of the provincial legislature. Then he went off script. Again. What little momentum he had evaporated as he reminded Islanders of everything they dislike about the premier and his government. kA 4=2DDlQAbQm(96?
