I caught a sound bite earlier this week between Mason and a caller. The caller asked why Mason voted against the increase in MLA severance a few years back, yet is accepting the new increased benefits just the same. The caller asked Mason to put his money where his mouth is, and decline. Of course, Mason said no, that he was entitled to the new severance and would take it.

The caller said it was convenient that a guy who knew his objection wouldn't matter ended up taking the benefit. Mason just evaded the caller and said, basically, well you know what I am taking the severance because I am entitled as a long term MLA.

So there you go from the leader of the NDP. There will be no principled stand, just another politican that takes pot shots, yet feeds from the same trough.
