Found this little tidbit on the Winnipeg Free Press website. What a crock of shit, pardon my language!
WINNIPEG - Manitoba's NDP government is going to rewrite its balanced budget law in part to let cabinet ministers avoid a 40 per cent pay cut.
The law requires cabinet ministers to take a 20 per cent pay cut whenever the province's finances are in deficit over a four-year average.
If the same thing happens in a second consecutive year, the pay cut doubles to 40 per cent.
Premier Greg Selinger says that 40 per cent provision is one of many being eliminated as the province deals with deficits forecast to run through 2014.
Selinger says today's economic circumstances are very unusual and all governments are facing tough times.
Cabinet ministers will have their pay cut 20 per cent pay, starting this year, and running through 2014.
