To the Editor,
According to Premier Christy Clark and George Abbott, education minister, unions in this province are going to have to accept their net-zero mandate.
Apparently this net-zero mandate does not apply to those who work for the Liberals.
For example, Deputy Minister of Education James Gorman made $164,085 dollars in 2006.
In 2011, Gorman’s salary was $228,942 while his expenses over this five-year period totalled $136,616.
Even more humorous was Deputy Minster to the Premier John Dyble’s salary. In 2006 Dyble’s salary was $161,455. In 2011 he was making $239,121, but don’t fear, in March 2011 his salary was bumped up again to $310,000.
The reason there is no money for education is because our government has simply spent all of our money on themselves.
