Our former member of the House of Assembly has plead guilty to uttering forged documents and breach of trust.

Some would say, and have said “Least ya all forget the Good that Wally has done for the people of Labrador. This man would give you the shirt off his back. I have seen miracles that this man has performed. Perhaps the people who run the government should get the stiffer penalty. They abused the system knowingly” Then this one. “In Wally's defense, he is, overall, a good man. He genuinely cared for his constituents. I am pleased to have met him and to have seen first hand how he did his best to care for those that elected him”.

Wow, lets blame the system again shall we, just like Jim Walsh has. I agree Wally WAS/is a good man in many respects, but I have a problem with people saying that he would “give the shirt off his back”. You see the truth of the matter is that at best he was giving the people the shirt off their own backs.

For all intentions and purposes Wally was a good constituency man, maybe that led him to do what he did, I just do not know.
I always had trouble with that term, constituency man, getting Wally to deal with the bigger issues that faced us all up here on the North Coast was no easy thing, though he did come through at times. Ironically one of those times that he did come through concerned transportation issues, it also involved Jim Walsh who was Transportation Minister at the time. Little did we know that we were sitting at the table with one future felon and one alleged felon 'the system made me do it".
