EMPLOYEE POSITION DEPARTMENT COMPENSATION 2017.
2018 not listed yet.
Looks like a bloated bureaucracy and related spending problem not a tax revenue or lack of Provincial or Federal funding problem.
2,270 or 32% of the employees earning over $50,000 earn between $100,000 and $250,000. That is before public paid pension contributions and some other benefits not included. Severance, Sick pay and some others are not mandatory to list or to break down but Bowman’s appointed EPC voted to change this but they never did.
The City of Winipeg wanted to know why MB Hydro was releasing all that detail, yet they have been lobbying the Pallister government to change the compensation disclosure law to allow for the release of greater detail.
So far, the province has denied that request after the initial inquiry about Hydro led to investigation by the Ombudsman and legal counsel suggesting it maybe against the FIPPA Act. More details here;
If their pension is similar to the Province it is matching of 7 or 8%. Picking $125k as averave of these 2,270 that works out to approximately $300 Million or almost 1/3 of the City’s entire annual budget.
Why is a constable making over $214k plus up to $17k in pension contribution and many others police officers making $150 – 226k before pension contributions? Why are their names not disclosed especially for superintendents? Police make up a significant majority of the top 2,280 on the list. EMS are next largest.
We have more police per capita than anywhere in Canada and among the highest compensated yet serious crime rate is among the highest. A detailed 64 page report in 2014 found WPS the most overstaffed and inefficient police service in Canada yet things have only gotten worse with the serious crime rate rising while it falls in almost all of Canada.
It is long overdue for cleaning up bloated bureaucracy, incompetence and corruption and enforcing hiring by merit, paying based on performance and better fiscal responsibility.
The Province is not perfect but has reduced a $1Billion defecit to $400 Million plus interest savings in 3 years. It made some good and some bad decisions but it is trying. Can that be said for the City?
