Indeed. but those who had been in the long employ of Government (a relatively stress free life in itself) will have been long retired in their relative youthfulness, and living a healthy stress free life with a guaranteed nice wedge dropping on their door mat every second week of the month.

Non-Believer Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So JW voted against the Budget (the only one to do so), citing undemocratic practice, which he'd stated pre-Budget. However both he and Chris Robertshaw are also questioning the Budget's figures, claiming spin and calling for independent verification of the Island's finances, both tallying with Watterson's earlier call for an Auditor General. Sowing seeds of doubt eh? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
