Where would Albertans be without such sound guardianship of the public purse?
In 2008, give yourself a 30% wage hike.
In 2009, set spending to run a deficit of 11%, later jumping to 20%.
Later in 2009, cut your own salary by 15%. Cut cabinet pay by 10%.
Freeze the salaries of top civil servants.
Preach restraint.
Easy enough when you are still looking at a net gain of between 15% and 20% on your own pay.
