It is true to say that the decision makers in Jersey's Council of Ministers are rather well of with shares in UK airports, large property portfolios and large amounts in bank accounts. I have no problem with wealthy people as I have no problem with the not well of.

What is a problem is when pensioners have to pay a greater slice of their very small pie than the very wealthy who care not if GST rises to  15%. This is because the wealthy person's pie is so enormous it makes no difference to their life style. I think the UK Conservative / Liberal Government understand this.

Does the Jersey Government with big golden ( tax free ) handshakes and very generous wage packets, in the non wealth producing public sector?

Fat-cat public officials are to be hit with higher pension contributions than previously thought, ministers announced yesterday.

They will have to pay an extra 6 per cent of their salaries towards their gold-plated pensions, on top of what they already contribute.

It had been expected that top civil servants and other senior figures such as chief constables, judges and hospital consultants would face a 5 per cent increase.

It is not just Jersey struggling with the run away financial train otherwise known as the public sector  wage bill

Councils admit: 'we can't reveal our top earners, it's too costly'

But council chiefs said they had so many well-paid staff the cost of listing them and their responsibilities could run into hundreds of thousands of pounds. They also said staff safety would be at risk if the public knew how much they earned.

Other councils claimed that taxpayers lacked the “evaluation skills” to decide whether spending was good value for money and would fall victim to “misunderstandings”. Several insisted there was little demand locally for information on how they spent public money.
