Public Sector Salary Increases Come From the Taxpayers

Letter to the Editor

Editor,

In your April 17 edition of the Meaford Independent you appear to be applauding the generous salaries and benefits of public employees.

It would be great if the rest of the population received a corresponding remuneration. The sad truth is public employees are paid with tax dollars. Every time they receive a raise, the bottom financial line shrinks. To use your terminology, every raise to public employees gives the rest of the population a hefty push in the direction of the bottom.

D. M. Ellis, Meaford
