From Angela Macdonald.
THE report on States Question Time (JEP, 4 November) revealed that the managing director of the Waterfront Enterprise Board received a £30,000 bonus last year, bringing his earnings up to £270,000.

For doing what? Ruining our waterfront. This man already earns a ridiculous amount of money. Did our government really need to give him a bonus, especially as at the time we were heading into a recession?

There are many people in Jersey who are finding it difficult to make ends meet, yet here we go again handing out money to those who are already in a comfortable position.

To cover all the daft things the government are doing with public money, we are now having increases in alcohol, tobacco and fuel, and tax allowances have been frozen. What’s next?

Does the Chief Minister and Senator Ozouf not listen to the news or read their local paper? Many of us are very unhappy with the way our government is treating us and there are some families that are being helped by local charities, as they are finding times hard.

Also there are hard-working men and women employed by the States who have been refused a pay rise, which I have to say would not even cover the cost of living in Jersey but what does our government do? They just go and give £30,000 away.

The Council of Ministers really don’t care. Why should they? They don’t have to worry about money and making ends meet, do they?
