PANB Praising Tory MLA's Call For Public Involvement On Compensation

The People's Alliance of New Brunswick commending Conservative MLA Brian MacDonald who thinks their should be more public input on MLA compensation.
Since forming last year, the PANB says they have been calling for more involvement from the public on the issue of salaries and pensions for MLA's.
Leader Kris Austin tells CHSJ News he is pleased that a sitting MLA would raise this issue that is being talked about by thousands of New Brunswickers.
Austin says it's blatantly immoral that both the Conservative and Liberal MLA's would boost their wages, benefits and pensions in 2008 and doing it a secretive vote made it much worse.
Austin says what the MLA's did in 2008 is wrong and he believes a call for more public involvement should be received by the Premier and his colleagues as a way for government to rebuild a level of trust with the people of this province.
