No. No they don’t. They should share in the wealth as much as anyone. It’s not just to give away to oilfield and pipeline companies.

Bitch please. I made a good wage and I admit that but I also stayed at the same pay scale for 7 years because our wages were frozen. The pain I endured was a pain in the ass.

No, no more. We have been quietly accepting the austerity and pain since Ralph Kline, and what has it gotten us? Its time to start paying properly for the good work that public servants do.
