LETTER: Four months holidays? And in one stretch?

What is it that you do actually, besides arguing with each other?

Editor's note: Ms. Bedard writes in response to the BayToday story Queen’s Park takes a summer break — until almost Halloween.

To the editor:

And who says that politicians are overpaid?

Four months holidays? And in one stretch?Nobody else as a government employee can get a month of holidays in a row?

Members of parliament! You should give back some of your salary to the people who elected you in order to help balance the budget!

If you're not working, you shouldn't be paid for more holidays than the average resident!

Why are you entitled to do less work for more pay? What is it that you do actually, besides arguing with each other?
