The BC Director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is hitting out at a Central Saanich councillor who took a 6-month paid leave... only to be found working in an exotic locale.
Jordan Bateman is calling for Terry Siklenka to resign, after the Times Colonist newspaper reported the councillor appears to be working for an air conditioning company in the Cayman Islands.
"To pay someone for six months while they're working a full-time job in the Cayman Islands? It just stretches credibility. It's honestly the kind of thing you'd expect from the senate."
Bateman adds Central Saanich Council should be more open about the nature of the leave, as they approved it.
Siklenka was set to earn $6-thousand for the paid leave.
