Members embarrassed as talk turns to money
Friday 29th February 2008, 1:00PM GMT.
STATES members spent more than three hours debating their pay yesterday.
Ministers will be paid £39,000 a year following an amendment by Deputy Peter Roffey, instead of the £40,000 recommended in an independent review board’s report. The starting salary for a deputy will be £22,000.
The report’s findings were agreed upon, but with some distaste about the four-year fix. And some members admitted that it was an ‘embarrassing’ and emotive subject.

£39k a year for deliberations in secret, massive overspends and no accountability? Plus, you can have a few well paid Directorships on the side. Sounds alright to me. Where can I apply?
