With the kind of money Premier Ghiz is giving Mary Jean Irving, he could help 2,500 poor Islanders reach the Low Income Cut Off (LICO) or poverty line. Or Premier Ghiz could add 3,000 seniors to the PEI Disability Support Program like he promised.

Mary Jean why don't you donate $10 or $20 million to the poor and disabled and get yourself some brownie points with the Big Guy and thousands of Islanders in need? We'll try to get Premier Ghiz to provide matching funds and maybe some other generous people will contribute as well.

Mary Jean, we'll set up the Mary Jean Irving Foundation to manage it for you. Please give this your kind and careful consideration.

Mary Jean Irving is a nice lady. She lives in the biggest house in PEI and is without a doubt the richest lady on PEI. We don't think she really needs the money as much as the poor and the disabled.

CBC reported that Mary Jean Irving is getting 75% of the cost of expanding the box plant in Borden as a loan New jobs coming to box plant in Borden-Carleton
