Rise for Mike Parker (Nexus)
Labour supports "Fat Cat's" rise!
In an incredible twist the Labour led Passenger Transport Authority has approved an inflation busting pay rise of ten thousand pounds per annum for Nexus Director General Mike Parker. Despite the PTA lobbying MPs and government to help make up the 5.4 million pound shortfall in it's budget for free OAP transport, and threatening to axe 16 bus routes to save 300,000 pounds, the Labour members of the Authority still voted to spend the extra money on Mr. Parker's salary. The move was opposed by Liberal Democrats on the PTA. My old friend Ian Proud (the multi-party Councillor), also revealed as a bus driver, said "I'm absolutely disgusted."
