Reason to be suspicious

Saskatchewan's PCs surface in the news again - and this time it may actually cause some damage to the Saskatchewan Party:
What remains of the provincial Progressive Conservative party is pulling up stakes today, saying it can no longer pay the rent because it's being starved of funding in a dispute over the Progressive Conservative Party of Saskatchewan Trust Fund...

Swenson has said the trustees of the fund cut off its annual funding of the party last year because they objected to the PC executive committee's plans to sell memberships and hold an annual general meeting to determine whether the party should be revived.

Swenson has alleged that trustees are being influenced by their connection to the Saskatchewan Party.
We'll see if there's another explanation for the trustees' actions, as the PCs are apparently prepared to go to court to seek the use of the remaining trust fund. But if individuals tied to the Saskatchewan Party are in fact abusing their positions as trustees by preventing the PCs from making any use of the trust fund, then Saskatchewanians have wonder all the more what the Sask Party would do given the opportunity to exercise power over the province's finances.
