A local boy gets a real job and MLA Claire Trevena is disgusted?
Let me tell you about some of us North Islanders’ disgust. A few years back the generous people of the North Island gave an underemployed (or was it unemployed?) union activist/journalist/consultant a job.
Us good North Islanders paid her over a million dollars in accumulated salary and other compensations. Yes an expenses paid vacation to South Africa as well.
On top of this we generously gave her a lifetime pension for...?
She has been oh so good at claiming she supported this or that North Island cause but only after surfing the headlines and then nimbly jumping on the passing community band wagon. What has Trevena really delivered on that was not already in the works by a North Islander?
Let’s see who will deliver for the North Island, the $100,000/year Trevena or the $90,000/year Facey.
