Sketicism of governement programs is fine, even justified, but
he accused Silvia (and government employees) of misappropriating
government funds. Thats polite?

Silvia doesn't work for the government so she has zero opportunity
to misappropriate any money. As for government employees, if he has
any proof he should take it to ICAC or the newspapers.

Making baseless claims like this without any evidence to back it up
makes him and the SLUG community look like a bunch of crazies.

I think its extremely naive to think a change of government is 
likely to change anything. For instance, we recently had a change of
government at the federal level and as much as everyone bitched
about the last government, I don't see this one as being drastically
better.
