The clerk of the legislature has been asked to recommend three people for an independent panel to review members' pensions. The review is something that was recommended two years ago when M-L-As voted unanimously to raise their salaries from 45-thousand dollars to 85-thousand while ending a number of allowances worth about 35-thousand dollars.
It all evened out money wise, they assured us, and it was better than the salary/expense model because it was more transparent. It would have been even more transparent had they not chosen to conduct the vote when the media were seriously pre-occupied with the record flooding that was going on the time, but I digress.
The problem with the new compensation package was its unintended effect on politicians' pensions. Since their gold-plated plan is based on salaries, the change resulted in a sizable boost in pensions. Now, anyone who serves eight years in the legislature gets 30-thousand
dollars a year, instead of 16-thousand 500. Anyone with more than 20 years as an elected member would get a pension of 76-thousand dollars, up from 41-thousand.
Government house leader Greg Byrne says the panel will compare the pensions to other legislatures and recommend what is appropriate in this province. It'll be interesting to see what they come up with. New Brunswick M-L-As enjoy the most lucrative pension plan in Atlantic
Canada and one of the richest in the country. It is not in keeping with our relative wealth. More importantly, it's being financed by ordinary taxpayers, many of whom have no pension plans at all.
As we head into a fall election, it's important that we remind candidates of this and also to remind ourselves that the Liberals and Conservatives have proven they're more than capable of acting in a non-partisan fashion. We just need them to do it for our benefit, not theirs...
We offer air time for your point of view...
Here's a blog I wrote on this shameful issue!!!!

BIGGEST CROOKED POLITICAL SCANDAL EVER!!!
It was the peek of the huge Flood of 2008!!!
People were running for their lives from the water. The electricity went out in the Legislature. All MLA'S stayed inside to passed this crooked Bill!
It would have been a nice gesture if all the MLA'S would have help carrying the many sand bags in the area.
But Nooooooo...they were too busy of thinking about themselves!!!!
While in Bathurst, I heard many people who were disgusted of the way these MLA'S voted themselves a huge six million dollar raise in their pension in a very crooked secret way!!!
I believe this could be an issue during next year Provincial Election!!!
Every single MLA'S should be showed the door but then again they will enjoy their pension money.
