Some Honourable members: Aye!
No surprise the miniscule and ineffective Liberal Party caucus in the House of Assembly likes the idea of Yvonne Jones as leader.
As Leader of the Official Opposition, Jones herself will collect $52,297 on top of her salary as a member of the House.
Opposition House Leader Kelvin Parsons will collect an extra $26,246 for taking that job and Roland Butler, the deputy house leader (in a caucus of three mind you) will earn $17,919.
Since the chair of the public accounts committee is an opposition member, someone is entitled to another 413,123 for that job.
And if by some bizarre amount of rationalization, the Liberals appoint a party whip and caucus chair, each of those positions comes with $13,123 in extra pay.
That is, unless the House management committee steps in and changes are introduced to the Green integrity legislation.
Contrary minded?
