Plenty of additional money flows to politicians

These figures don鈥檛 include the per diem amount mayors and council members earn from attending conferences, committees and boards
Black Press Media Staff

Editor: This letter is regarding 鈥淢assive pay hike for council,鈥� (The Times, Dec. 15).

These figures don鈥檛 include the per diem amount mayors and council members earn from attending conferences, committees and boards, or their mileage fees.

Are these additional sources of income also one-third tax free?

Thousands of seniors and people with disabilities who paid taxes all their lives are now receiving social assistance, and live below the poverty line in B.C. They never get raises. Politicians always get raises.

Ted Summerfield,
