I am an old-fashioned conservative. When I read in The Morning Star about nine defeated or retiring politicians getting $18.6 million in pension benefits and then I ponder a later article telling us that the Vernon Women’s Centre has permanently closed its doors, it is too much.
This centre, it’s estimated, would cost $15,000 to $20,000 annually to help those less advantaged. I am disgusted!
What a revolting set of priorities! Frankly, I know where I would like to see my tax dollars go…and it ain’t on political pensions.
