And this is exactly the problem. MLA's already made a fine salary before the wage bump, and despite not delivering any kind of effective leadership, they still increased their own wages.
Now they want to make the poor, helpless and needy a focus of budget cuts, but ignore that their own wages, small of a cut they might be, should ALSO be part of the debate.
