I heartily agree with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation that MLA pensions are far too rich.

I heartily agree with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation that MLA pensions are far too rich.

My wife B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ who spent over 45 years as a nurse in VIHA and missed family time as she was required to work many stat holidays like Christmas, Easter, kidsB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™ birthdays, plus nights and weekends B´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·“ has a pension that is 60 per cent of that of Carole James, who spent 15 years as an MLA .

With the pension James has I donB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™t see much sacrifice, because if you look at sacrificing a family life for a career, then my wifeB´ÎÔª¹ÙÍøÍøÖ·™s pension should be $82,000 and James should be one-third of that.
