Okay, let me say I feel there is more to these stories than the news papers are letting on!

I will give them the benefit of the budget.

But, let me give you a little more in sight why I feel this way!

Oh, lets say the RV for 1....

The 3 presidencies make a heck of a lot of money
and the HoR and the Council make a lot also

and if they kept their rate, and it RV's, they would go broke in a mater of weeks

So, if my intuition is right it would be the right time at the beginning of the year to reduce the budget, reduce the pay rate of the elected officials, and RV all at the same time!



But I still say there is more to these stories than they are letting on!
