Commission on MLA compensation listens to yours truly

For any of you who may doubt my ability to affect the course of political events here in BC, take the time to compare the submission I made with the Full report by the Independent Commission to Review MLA Compensation (.pdf) regarding MLA pay and pensions. It is very gratifying indeed to know that they were listening so closely.

For those of you who listen to Capital Gang on CFAX 1070 on Thursday morning you would have heard me also correctly predict last week that Harry Lali would break ranks with NDP leader Carole James on this MLA pay raise issue.

Of course Harry was quickly bullied back into towing the party line, but it is refreshing to see a little bit of honesty surface admist all the hypocrisy.
