Letters

The Editor, Sir:

My new best friend in the public sector is Greg Christie, the contractor general. He is at least one public official who seems to act on my wishes as a taxpayer. I pray for his safety and longevity in that position. Way to go, Sir Greg!

Tragically, I continue to be appalled at the aloofness of our politicians who seem to feel that they are above scrutiny. Years ago, I recall a certain minister who disdainfully quarrelled that we can't elect him and then seek to direct him. When given a job, you should be allowed to do it, but you walk a very thin line in shutting up your employer who simply wants to make sure you do what is required - after all, the employer is footing the bill. A word to the wise would be: Watch you manners.

Everald Warmington would do well to heed the admonition and watch his manners. Life is cyclical, today you're up, tomorrow you're down. Warmington should also know that he's not the only one who went to school. Truth be told, maybe he is innocent, but the attitude does not match. He and a number of other politicians need to help themselves to a generous sharing of humble pie.

I am, etc.,

Charles Evans
