DescriptionFREDERICTON — He’s been around for six years, yet many New Brunswickers draw a blank when asked to cite a single accomplishment of Premier Bernard Lord.

In a recent poll, 60 per cent of respondents either didn’t know, or answered nothing, when asked that question, while 39 per cent couldn’t name his greatest failure.

"I don’t worry about polls and I don’t worry about legacy," Lord said in a recent year-end interview with The Canadian Press.

Lord said the province has record low unemployment and he’s been able to lower taxes, balance the province’s books and increase spending on health and education.

"We have the best credit rating east of Ontario, so things are good," the Tory premier said. "Maybe we just need to talk about it more."
