This Blog will discuss politics, government, corruption, police, S.I.U., courts, education, min. of attorney general, min. of labour, v.o.i.c.e. and other current and past events of interest to concerned citizens. In the "About me" section to the right and down I have included the names of persons whom I have tremendous respect for. Their influence on me however has been primarily environmental (and personal) and this is therefore a disclaimer that all words posted on this Blog/Website are mine and I alone am responsible for them.

AND THE WOOLWICH OBSERVER SKEWERS THOSE ON THE SUNSHINE LIST



Steve Kannon of the Woolwich Observer has written the following Editorial "Sunshine List a worthwhile measure of excess". He appropriately harpoons the ever increasing numbers of public servants making north of $100,000. In some instances we are talking far north, others just over. Steve is right that this list is galling. It's too many people taking way too much taxpayers money. Here in Woolwich we are looking at the CAO, Council and Information Services, Township Fire Chief, Directors of Engineering, Finance and god help us Recreation. Oh and also a Manager of Engineering and a public works superviser. Nice pay if you can get it. Meanwhile Wellesley Township has but one, namely their CAO. This renumeration Steve states exceeds that of 95% of the rest of us. You know I felt that firemen and police were overpaid which they are but this is ridiculous. This gap between the income of most citizens and those public servants on the sunshine List is particularily galling when you look at their job security and benefits. These paople are neither that smart or hardworking. The question is how dumb are we to put up with this forever?
