As for the cops, I think it's even worse in Toronto, it's all the overtime and the off duty work they pick up at double and triple pay rates. You don't need a policeman to do half the off duty jobs they do like standing their picking their noses on construction sites and waving traffic at funerals. You could train people and create new jobs for that type of work and pay them 20 bucks an hour. Police union freaks out when that gets suggested.
That's the problem with politicians, it's not their money they're spending so why worry about how much and how you spend it. Every once in awhile a newspaper or website will expose all the shenanigans and wasteful spending and it becomes a hot topic on talk radio for a week - and that's it, nothing ever changes.
