Payette should have pension, perks stripped

-

DEAR EDITOR:

We, the taxpayers should be up in arms about the fact that we may have to pay an extra-ordinary amount of pension and extras to a Governor General who had to resign in disgrace.

We have had so many good, conscienti­ous GGs that it is a shame she has to tarnish the office. Julie Payette does not deserve any extra money.

If she had been fired, she would not receive any extras. Just because she was forced to resign instead is no reason to reward her with a pension for life, plus extra living expenses.

I have never liked her from the beginning. There was something about her eyes that bothered me. They were very cruel eyes.

Get along like the rest of us, Julie.
