May 5: Public ‘servants’ become masters

Isn’t it time that “servant” meant something in the title “public servant”? How is it that the Capital Regional District can even consider the executive pay raises it is looking at now? And does Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps need an assistant who is paid two to three times what the typical Canadian earns?

How is it that the “servants” have become the “masters”? Is it time to legislate salary caps for most public servants?

These folks are not entrepreneurs who get compensated for the risk they take, but employees of us, the taxpayer.
