'I don't want to, but I will because it's an election year' budget

If last year’s provincial budget could be described as petty, after Finance minister Mike de Jong doled out an increase in assistance rates for those living with disabilities, only to claw must of it back by ending the subsidized bus pass program, this year’s budget could best be described as petulant.
This is de Jong’s “I don’t want to, but I will because it’s an election year” budget.
