them senators are using the system i tells ya.


Really though the senators provide the role of being the upper legislative commitee of the government, that's pretty important.

furthermore they are the "permanent" until they are too old to work government.. not the until they hate you or you have other things you'd rather do government. more so the first part perhaps.

If they wern't so old then maybe they wouldn't need there staff to cut down his trees.

Obviously they arn't being payed enough or theit "staff" isnt earning there keep.

My gosh.. doesn't the attorney general handle goverment legal issues?

This is so frivel.

They are paying him anyway. His money is "tax dollars no matter what way you look at it".

Now is he hard done by.. what if he doesn't have enough money to meet the old constitutional requirements?

Anyway if he didn't use the attorney general or a crown attorney to represent him (you know them lawyers the tax payers pay even if they they attempt to lock taxpayers in jail)

whatever. if they are staff if they are on salary and it is related to the senators requirements and not illegal what gives.

what does a senators staff do anyway.. go TIMBER!!!


NO NO

FOR!!

would his staff hand him a golf club?

hmm now this is a good question ..what does a senators staff do..

so far cutting down trees may be off the list.


Why isn't the auditor general or the finance department doing the issue?

Why isn't it mandated that the crown attorneys office do all government legal work?
