Moncton PC supporters excited about 'top-notch candidate' Moira Kelly Murphy

Lawyer seeks nomination to run against Liberal Finance Minister Cathy Rogers in Moncton South

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Mar 06, 2018 6:55 PM AT

Moira Kelly Murphy has indicated she will seek the Progressive Conservative nomination in Moncton South. (Facebook)

Progressive Conservatives in Moncton are buzzing about someone they consider a star candidate for their party in this fall's election.

Lawyer Moira Kelly Murphy met with PC supporters Monday night to tell them she will seek the party nomination in Moncton South, where she'd be trying to unseat Liberal Finance Minister Cathy Rogers.

Adding to the frisson of excitement is that Kelly Murphy is the spouse of former Liberal cabinet minister Mike Murphy, who ran for the Liberal leadership in 2012 against future premier Brian Gallant.

"She's a top-notch candidate even without her association with Mike Murphy," said Charles Doucet, a former NDP candidate in Moncton who has now joined the PC party.

'Shot in the arm'

He said word of her decision has been "a shot in the arm" for Moncton-area Tories.

"I let it slip to a few people around me and nobody could believe it."

Doucet posted the news of her candidacy on Facebook on Monday night, along with photos from the evening gathering.

"I can't imagine this is a secret anymore," he said. "I don't think I let the cat out of the bag."
Kelly Murphy did not respond to calls and emails Tuesday seeking her comment.

New to Twitter

She created a Twitter account last month and has used it mainly to criticize Gallant's Liberal government and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Liberal administration in Ottawa.

Doucet said about 30 to 40 people attended the Monday night event, including several PC MLAs and some Liberals.

The Moncton South PC nominating convention is scheduled for March 26 and the deadline for candidates to officially declare is March 12.

Rogers won the seat in 2014 with 45 per cent of the vote, defeating the incumbent PC MLA Sue Stultz by more than 600 votes.

@berkeleyfleming Whats a Tim's???

David Amos

@berkeleyfleming Not long ago the ex NDP boss Dominic Cardy and several of his newfound Conservative cohorts sent me a bunch of Tim Bits in the mail with a signed note.

In response I fed the treats to a stray cat I named after his new boss and published the note in my blog.

My obvious question is why would anyone have any faith in this motley crew of candidates from other parties who want to run our province?

  

Sterling Wright

No question she will make the race in that riding interesting if nothing else

David Amos

@Sterling Wright I find this incredibly comical

 

Mac Isaac

This is exactly what I've been warning other Liberals about: with an aging population New Brunswick is becoming even more conservative and Conservative. It's the nature of people as they age...some become even more set in their political dogma while most of the rest of us find ourselves leaning more to the right side. With all the promises made but not kept and the amount of money spent with no real plans for adding to our treasury it's only natural that this would give pause to those of us who want to believe but aren't given much for which we can hope. Ms Kelly Murphy is, I think, typical of this move away from the Liberal fold.

David Amos

@Mac Isaac Call me crazy all you wish but please keep on whining I love it

@Emilen Forest Methinks this is another comment that CBC wants me to give up trying to respond to for exactly the same political reasons.

CBC has a mandate to be non partisan but lawyers and I know differently N'esy Pas Hubby Lacoix and Minister Joly?

  

Douglas James

A "frission of excitement" over yet another lawyer moving into politics. Wow! When one notes how many lawyers have failed to accomplish much of anything as MLAs or cabinet ministers, I think the frission of excitement should be reserved for plumbers and carpenters and, well....anyone but lawyers.

David Amos

@Douglas James "well....anyone but lawyers"

I concur

 

Ray Bungay

Nice pick the Liberals off one riding at a time. Good luck!

David Amos

@Ray Bungay An ex liberal lawyer is introduced by an ex NDP dude to run for the Conservatives? Too too funny indeed.

  

Mike Sampson

The story never mentioned her political philosophy. Is she for reducing the size of government, eliminating costly and unaffordable duality of services? I am guessing her political philosophy is like every other New Brunswick politician. What do I have to say to get elected and what party gives me the best chance at feeding at the trough.

David Amos

@Mike Sampson YUP

  

Gabriel Boucher

Can we hear about the other candidates please? Kinda tired of hearing about the blue and red parties already. They shown us how badly they're governing our province for decades now. It's no longer an option anymore.

David Amos

@Gabriel Boucher There are other parties as well

  

mo bennett

there is no such thing as a top notch politician.

David Amos

@mo bennett True

  

Samuel Porter

How do people get sucked in to running for these deadbeat do nothing parties? Has to be the easy life and the big pension they are after. If they aren't already corrupt by the time they get in, they will be ,in short order, or they will be kicked out of the party.

David Amos

@Samuel Porter "If they aren't already corrupt by the time they get in, they will be ,in short order"

That is the problem with political parties

 

Mike Bookman

Top notch? Like Ernie Steeves?
Whatever happened to him, thought he was the cons savior? Collecting a paycheck I believe.

David Amos

@Mike Bookman Ernie who?

Marc LeBlanc

@David Amos So who's running against Ernie?None other than an Atlantic Lottery manager.
The last audit by the AG's of the 4 Atlantic provinces showed that ALC managers were approving their own expense accounts as well they lied to their board of directors.As none of these managers were identified there's no way to tell who we could be voting for here.The Liberals made a huge mistake approving that candidate.At least you can trust Ernie.

Content disabled.

David Amos

@Marc LeBlanc FYI CBC has blocked at least 5 comments thus far this morning I have no doubt that it is because they know I am preparing to run for public office again.

David Amos

@David Amos "At least you can trust Ernie."

No way Ernie showed me his colours long ago.

Content disabled.
David Amos

@Marc LeBlanc Methinks that if Ernie were oh so honourable perhaps he would ask his friend Jacques Poitras why CBC blocked my first response to you in this thread N'esy Pas?

  

kelly sherrard

I applaud Moira. The #1 priority is to have candidates who work for their constituents not ignoring them the way the Liberal MLAs have behaved for the last 3 years. There are no words to describe who the Gallant Liberals have behaved during their term. Ignoring concerns of taxpayers and behaving as if they are always right and everyone else in the province has a problem until everything blows up in their faces then they blame the Conservatives because they have no excuse. The Liberals have to go provincially. If it were up to me, the Liberal party would be outlawed for a lengthy period until they smarten up and learn how to behave. With this in mind, they may never hold another seat in this province again.

David Amos

@kelly sherrard I recall Murphy's hubby quitting his dream job as a Liberal Attorney General in order to "spend time with the family" then changed his mind and wanted to be the next Liberal Premier.

Now a former NDP dude thinks Mikey's dearly beloved is gonna save the PCs?

Methinks I know what the #1 priority of lawyers is and it certainly is what concerns the taxpayers but from the opposite point of view N'esy Pas?

 

Matt Steele

Hmmmm.....top notch is a very questionable term . Her husband was blackballed by the liberal party , so if she wants to get a place at the taxpayer funded trough ; then joining the PCs was her only real option . There is little question that Gallant is going out , so there will be lots of folks who will be motivated to jump on the PC bandwagon so that they can fill their pockets with taxpayer cash . Hopefully Blaine Higgs can keep these people under control .

David Amos

@Matt Steele "Hopefully Blaine Higgs can keep these people under control ."

Who do you know or ever heard of that was good at herding cats?

  

David Amos

News Flash CBC just said on the radio the 'top-notch candidate' Keith Ashfield wants Jody Carr's seat.

Seamus O'hern

@David Amos ....hahaha...."top notch candidate". Me thinks you thinks correct..lol

David Amos

@Seamus O'hern Don't ya just love the Circus when they bring in the Clowns?

 

Jason Inness

Liberal, Tory, same old story. They both act the same way when in government, so they may as well trade candidates.

David Amos

@Jason Inness They have been trading candidates for years.

  

John Jude

I guess I have to post something positive about the PCs in order to slip by the moderation on this site.

@John Jude LOL Not really

However if you were to post something positive about liberals perhaps CBC will give you a job and then the liberals can claim they are reducing unemployment by hiring more spin doctors.

@John Jude Don't bet on it. My last response proved it to you in spades but CBC took my cards of the table.

@John Jude Methinks CBC wants me to give up trying to respond to this comment N'esy Pas Minister Joly?

  

Sean Onuaillain

In in the interest of fairness I guess the CBC and Mr. Poitras intend to post individual stories on each candidate for each party nominated for the 2018 election. I look forward to reading the profiles of the Green Party and the People's Alliance of New Brunswick candidates.
If that does not occur the CBC and Mr. Poitras have some explaining to do as to why they chose to highlight this one.

David Amos

@Sean Onuaillain "If that does not occur the CBC and Mr. Poitras have some explaining to do as to why they chose to highlight this one."

Good Luck with that one

  

Roland Godin

We do understand, and in both langues officielles, that we seem to insist proudly, for generations, in doodling the colour for the most likely to mismanage public policies, administration, resources and finances, maybe this could be argued at coffee shop parliaments...et voilà.

@Roland Godin "We do understand, and in both langues officielles"

What I don't understand is howcome Chucky Leblanc was barred from the Legislative Properties in 2007 byway of an unsigned document written in only one official language ENGLISH Methinks the reasons Chucky's buddies within CBC or Radio Canada won't report it is a rather telling thing N'esy Pas?

  

Mario Doucet

Bye Bye Brian, NB has had enough of the corruption and pandering.

David Amos

@Mario Doucet I doubt that Mr Higgs and his ex NDP followers can knock the liberal gravy train off its tracks with Trudeau "The Younger" in power. Methinks if JT takes a quick trip through "The Place To Be" for a bunch of selfies just before polling day it should work like a charm for the liberals N'esy Pas?

There better be a provincial tourist office open in Hartland at the bridge this year after all the handouts given to promote bilingualism. Millions dumped into language and nothing to promote the province.

@Mario Doucet Methinks CBC blocked my most important comment today because not only do they know who I am they also know who my Sister is, who Father and Brother were and who my Mother married after our Father died but most importantly (Politically speaking that is) who my brother in law's law firm partner is. N'esy Pas?

@Rose Michaud
What NB really needs is less tax money dumped down the bilingual drain.

Gary Spencer

I am not saying she is - or is not a star candidate but the only credentials put forward in this story is that she is the spouse of Mike Murphy and she can't keep a secret. A story about nothing.

David Amos

@Gary Spencer True

  

Mario Doucet

The Trudeau budget that didn't balance itself made special provisions ensuring the Acadians get their EI, 30 weeks EI for 10 weeks of work.

Mario Doucet

@Mario Doucet
EI should be 1 week EI for 1 week work.

David Amos

@Mario Doucet I think it should be I week of EI for every 4 weeks of work


 
michael levesque

she saw the reward that marie claude blais was given for accomplishing zero point zero, what lawyer would not want to run.

David Amos

@michael levesque Don't forget the political lawyers such as Richard Bell, Brad Green, Barb Baird and Bruce Noble and many others who got the same reward from Mr Harper

 

Robert Cunningham

So..... what makes her a good candidate? that she is a Lawyer? That her Husband is Mike Murphy? Or that she is not Cathy Rogers? I am sure she is a nice person, but NB needs more than that......

On hold: 900 property owners await late tax bills

Service New Brunswick doing additional quality control, says Serge Rousselle

Jacques Poitras · CBC News · Posted: Mar 06, 2018 6:03 PM AT 

Steve Ward, acting executive director of the valuation unit of Service New Brunswick explains additions to property tax bills. (Ed Hunter/CBC) 

Almost 900 New Brunswick property owners will be waiting until April 1 to see their property assessments, and their tax bills, for 2018.

Service New Brunswick Minister Serge Rousselle said that assessments for more than 500 properties are going through "additional quality control efforts," a feature that the auditor-general said was lacking during last year's assessment fiasco.

Those will be on top of more than 300 owners whose 2017 assessments are still being reviewed for errors, a figure the Crown corporation revealed earlier this year.

Rousselle disclosed the new number at a news conference following the mailing of most of the province's 470,000 assessment notices and tax bills.

Assessments to be mailed in April

The assessments still on hold will be mailed out April 1, he said. They will also not appear on the government's online assessment database until its next update on April 10.

To quell the assessment controversy last year, the province froze all assessments for 2018. The only assessments that will change will be those that go down or those for properties that have been sold or have seen major renovations or expansions.

Service New Brunswick Minister Serge Rousselle listens as Ward answers questions. (Ed Hunter/CBC) 

They account for about 16 per cent of assessments, with about 84 per cent frozen.

There's no particular pattern to the assessments that have been delayed, according to Service New Brunswick spokesperson Valerie Kilfoil

"There will be some that are frozen and some that fall into the exception categories," she said. "The additional 500-plus bills need to be reviewed by an assessor prior to establishing the 2018 value.

"Some of these will end up being exempt from the freeze due to new construction picked up on a sale, for example. Others will possibly end up being frozen as the assessor may not pick up any changes."

Quality control required

Kim MacPherson's audit said one of the perceived strengths of the modernization program was that aerial photography cut down on the costs of travel and quality control.

Service New Brunswick will not be mailing about 900 property tax bills until early April. (Daniel McHardie/CBC)

 But MacPherson noted that guidelines published by the International Association of Assessing Officers say that any data collection program requires quality control.

• Several Service New Brunswick managers survive property assessment scandal

Many owners of properties with frozen assessments are still seeing higher tax bills because the assessment, set by the province, is only part of the formula. The other part is the tax rate, set by the municipality. If it rises, the tax bill will go up.

Last fall's report by MacPherson blamed the leadership of Service New Brunswick for "fast-tracking" the new assessment system, which produced thousands of errors last year.

The system incorrectly inflated property tax bills, but rather than catch and fix the mistakes, some officials made up renovation amounts on some homes to justify the inflated values.

@stephen blunston Need I say that NB Power and the Attorney General Serge Rousselle who featured in this article as the Service New Brunswick Minister has a rather huge legal problem after having barred from the latest NBEUB Hearing?

Roy Nicholl

"To quell the assessment controversy last year, the province froze all assessments for 2018. The only assessments that will change will be those that go down or those for properties that have been sold or have seen major renovations or expansions."

Not exactly true. We had two properties whose assessments went up - one by 27% - despite no work having been completed on the properties. (on one we pulled permits in December, but have just started the work).

David Amos

@Roy Nicholl Methinks the delay has more to do with which political party the taxpayer supports N'esy Pas?

This is an ELECTION year , so of course there will not be any tax increases . Brian Gallant and his U de M buddies are in the pre-election spending mode as they try to buy the election with the taxpayers own money . Spend , Spend , Spend ; and then drive taxes through the roof if re-elected is the way Gallant operates . Does Gallant or Rousselle really think that they are fooling anybody with all their spending and fake promises ?
