A Snippet Circulated To Council Members

Ms. Buck, 

 Attending Council last night both as an invited guest to witness the Ontario Heritage Trust awards, and as a supporter of the AFA, I was curious about the term "double dipping" that you used. 

Having searched the internet it seems the common definition for 'double dipping' perhaps better describes your position - Please review definition below.

Do you not receive a pension from the Canadian government and compensation from Aurora taxpayers as a Councillor? Before accusing others it is always wise to make sure one's own record is sound. 

double dipping
noun
The practice of drawing two incomes from the government, usually by holding a government job and receiving a pension, as for prior military service.

    Is there something WRONG with that? Seems to me that if you're a pensioner, you can earn a pension. Income (whether from being a councillor or an opera singer) gets claimed on your taxes too. What's this guy's issue??
