The Auditor General's Report also dealt with the "special" "onetime" $2875 constituency allowance payment. Primarily because during the last election some MHA's went on an election spree and spent up to 90% of their yearly allowance in just 6 months. That helps with the vote hey?
There was a commitment by all parties that this money would be paid back. Unfortunately - this has not been the case.
As at August 16 - 07 - nine MHA's had not paid any back nor made arrangements to do so. Another three had not paid any back but had made arrangements and six had paid some back and had made arrangements.
Those in the first category are:
Wally Anderson
Percy Barrett
Ed Byrne
Randy Collins
Kathie Goudie
Roger Grimes
Jim Hodder
Fabian Manning
Loyola Sullivan
According to a local news story the Premier said "Williams says the repayment of the bonus seems to be a question of means."
Okay - I have TWO words for that - SCHOOL TAX
Was or is the former Minister of Finance Loyola Sullivan being gouged for mega-interest on the monies owed? He had no problem gouging ordinary citizens who owed resurrected back accounts for school tax.
Or how about those people suffering from ALS - no experimental drugs?
Public Pensioners with no indexing?
Not enough nurses?
To the MHA's
Is your electricity disconnected?
Your phone cut off?
Credit cards maxed?
Houses run down?
Eviction notices?
Car repossessed?
No furnace oil?
Going to the foodbank?
If that's not what you meant Premier - you are truly a multi-millionaire who is out of touch.
Come on tell us about your financial hardship!

It now seems that Lloyla Sullivan's so called 'fiscal responsibility' went 'out the window' with the drop of the puck at Mile One.
