Moldy Peaches

The Accidental Deliberation has a great piece that is worth sharing.

A nice contrast from the Regina Leader-Post's news summaries.

I'd think this would be the more important story:
_________________________________________________
A national study released in Saskatoon says teachers are facing an increased workload, longer hours and ballooning class sizes compared to four years ago...

According to the 2005 study of more than one-thousand teachers, 83 per cent reported they had a higher workload than four years ago.

If nothing else, this should be great fodder for opposition parties. But the Saskatchewan Party has different priorities:
_________________________________________________

Opposition members in Saskatchewan want Premier Lorne Calvert to speed up a review of legislature salaries.

Members are currently subjected to caps on public-sector salary hikes that were scrapped for all other government workers last month.

Leaving aside the wisdom of politicizing MLAs' salaries in the first place (which both parties were all too willing to do), how far out of touch does the opposition have to be to focus on its own salaries rather than on substantive change? Is this part of the 100 point plan to grow Saskatchewan?

At least this group of Sask Party MLAs are not looking for their free haircuts and shoe shining like the original bunch.
