From one of the links circa 2017:
"Watchdog Integrity B.C. said by the time a new government comes in, it's often too late to avoid such pricey payouts because previously signed contracts have to be honoured.
"It's a shame for B.C. taxpayers," executive director Dermod Travis told CTV News.
"It's not even comparable to what you see in other provinces, what you see at the federal level. And in fact MLAs who retire or get defeated have a worse severance package from the B.C. legislature. It's completely out of proportion."
Another 24 staffers were paid between $100,163 and $474,552. The latter was for Athana Mentzelopoulos, who served as deputy minister of corporate priorities and, more recently, as deputy finance minister." |
Fired is a bit misleading. She was dismissed by the Liberal premier along with the others a day before the NDP took over, and collected a fat severance package. I have no opinion on her competence, but this event doesn't speak to it one way or another.
