Fight HST team clears new hurdle

From CKNW:

The "Fight HST" petition has now hit 15 percent support in 80 of 85 ridings.

Lead organizer Chris Delaney says they have now gathered 620 thousand signatures.

That's more than double the Elections BC threshold of 300 thousand needed across BC's 85 electoral districts.

Fight HST's Bill Vander Zalm says the BC government has "become desperate" in the face of the overwhelming success of the petition.

He says the government is stooping to a new low, and is now making up what he calls bogus arguments about the legality of the petition
