Actually Koskie was a Minister under the Conservatives and then later left for the NDP The Koskie family have been long time NDP supporters going back to at least the Allan Blakeney years I think this whole controversy really calls for a page entitled Saskatchewan Legislative Assembly Expense Account Fraud Scandal where the charges and convictions of each member and support staff like Scraba can be described in detail There is a book entitled SaskScandal at your local library which might be useful as a starting point and further I am sure NDP contributors have additional information they might want to share Any time you have a breach of trust in government or fraud against the Crown it is important that such not be minimalized or trivialized irregardless of political party involved
