-- NOVA SCOTIA -- Kevin Lacey, Atlantic spokesman for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said anyone convicted of misusing taxpayers' money should lose their pensions.An idea whose time has come.
"They shouldn't benefit from the taxpayer if they're convicted of abusing taxpayers' dollars," Lacey said.
The federation calculated Hurlburt's pension at about $57,000, MacKinnon's at $47,000, and Wilson's at $42,000. Zinck will qualify for a pension of a bit more than $21,000 in June. MLAs can collect a full pension at 55 if they're no longer in office.
Dirty politicians... let them reap...
