CJOB's Keith McCullough reporting
5/11/2012

Premier Greg Selinger now says he's calling on all MLA's to stop taking free tickets or buying tickets for professional sporting events from Crown Corporations, businesses or unions.  Selinger took responsibility Friday afternoon for the so called Ticketgate scandal.  Selinger provided a list showing 13 NDP MLA's had received 33 total Jets tickets. The most went to Justice Minister Andrew Swan who took or bought 8 total tickets.  Selinger said had ordered all of them to be paid back.  He said he had no plans right now to further discipline any of his MLAs at this time saying they deserved a chance to make it right.
