Delaying projects isn't saving any money it just spreads it out over a longer term and often just causes increased costs as the cost of labour and materials increases. It doesn't matter if you save a dollar now if you have to spend 2 dollars in three years time, that isn't financially conservative, that is financially stupid.

I think it's more of the principle. Why is a portion of MLA's salary tax-free when everyone else has to pay taxes? It's not as much a budgetary cut as a removal of self-given benefits.
