The findings of a new report by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation probuably won’t come as a shock to many.
A study of MLA pensions show taxpayers pay close to $16 for every $1 contributed by politicians.
That means MLA pensions cost every person in this Province roughly $7.5 million each year.
CTF Atlantic Director Kevin Lacey tells CHSJ News, the madness has to stop.
The report makes two major recommendations including replacing the current MLA pension program with an RRSP style system and create a citizens panel to examine MLA pay and benefits.
