So, wouldn’t this make him a triple dipper? Double dipper Dipper? Dipper3?

No surprise. He’s N”Leech”P.
I always thought of him as a deeper—a kNeeDeePer. So he’d be a double dipper DeePer.
That’s like putting your whole mouth right in the public purse!
From now on, when you see a dipper, just take one clip and end it!
Given to Charity?
That’s a clever answer. Unaccountable, unprovable, uncheckable, and unlikely. TG
Lingenfelter told CBC he is giving half his monthly pension to charity, representing the portion that has been funded by the public.
thanks, dickhead, for donating my tax dollars to charity. I love how generous these socialist asshats are with other people’s money.
To much dipper.
It’s mind boggling that the legislation behind the MLAs’ pension doesn’t address this situation.
He’s the Big Dipper in charge of all the Little Dippers.
Now that should make all of us tax payers feel better knowing we are being taken care of by a bunch of Dips
It points up the whole absurdity of pensions for MPs. The pay for MPs should be like a contract employee (and I don’t mean hit-man, ‘though I sometimes wonder). And it should be up to the MP to put aside as much as they feel they should either in RRSPs, other investment savings or both.
This might have the added benefit of making them think twice before they trash the wealth-creating potential of the economy and thereby their retirement savings/investments.
And my fellow Bluenosers get all riled up over MLAs expense accounts….
Not to nitpick, everyone…but fellas like this are properly referred to as ‘dipchits’.
nice
He was once, twice, three times a dipper …
It’s a legal pension, without partisanship. If Hermanson ran and was reelected, he’d get the same deal.
Tempest in a teapot, IMO.
Now, if somebody wants to discuss the sweetheart pensions that our polis get, that’s a different issue.
I like flipper dipper. When he is caught he says he gives it to charity. Put it on the Prov. debt man, thats where it comes from.
Not a tempest in a teapot my dear djb. I distinctly recall that when I was considering retiring (or Crouton retiring me)from the military, I was told that if I went back into anything with a federal pension plan, my payments would stop and my mew contributions would go to my “future” pension with the added time. Of course I am not a politician so maybe they have different rules like their healthcare.
Texas, some are more equal than others.
The ability to double dip should be taken out of the system for MLAs and while they are at it, also take the same provision out of the teachers and nurses union contracts or other civil servants. Our municipal employees are not able to double dip. When they retire, they retire or work for someone else.
Dipper cubed, good one Kate. ~:D
“Lingenfelter told CBC he is giving half his monthly pension to charity, representing the portion that has been funded by the public.”
And who funded the other half? The tooth fairy? The other half was all covered by “investments”? Sure it was. Besides which the whole f-ing thing is supposed to be covered by Dwain’s payments in and their growth over the years.
This is where we all get to scream “HYPOCRITE!!!” just like the Dippers -always- do whenever any Conservative of any description ever cheats on his wife, his taxes, says one thing and does another, or really does anything that didn’t come out of the little Red Dipper Book of policy.
HY-PO-CRIT!!!
Won’t make any difference of course, Dippers are impervious to logic, facts, irony etc. Some are even impervious to a 2×4 upside the head, due to the extreme cranial calcification they get from drinking the union koolaid for years and years. Skull two inches thick, brain really, really small.
Double Dipper,commie N-dipper,feet first into a Wood-Chipper!
Heard something interesting on the radio. Retired health care workers go back to work, collect pension, do not pay into the pension plan and maintain seniority ie first bid on overtime. Uh hire younger nurses and pay them a bit more?
So an MLA who has been kicked out but comes back later gets a financial advantage over an MLA who has been serving continuously. Is that a bug or a feature?
Sask. Party MLA Bill Boyd said some NDP members have in past debates criticized the concept of simultaneously collecting pension and pay from the public purse and now Lingenfelter is doing exactly that.”
how do you think he became aware of the loophole? the debates !!!
another case of not playing devils advocate when drawing up the original regulations regarding MLA pensions.
oink!
But you already knew that…..
Here in Alberta, somehow MLA’s get, now sit down,…… severance when they lose an election.
$200,000 or so, more if you’re premier. oink!
Mr. g, I am shocked I tell you, shocked!
Far be it from me to defend Mr. Lingenfelter as I have absolutely no use for the man. However, in this case, I see nothing wrong with what he’s doing.
I am somewhat disappointed in the Sask Party for even bringing this up since they are far better than that. In this situation, they have lowered themselves to the level of the NDP in an effort to smear Lingenfelter. These are the political antics of a Pat Atkinson or a Buckley Belanger.
Mr. Lungedandfelther is legally entitled to to his pension and his salary. Like his leadership nomination win, he bought and paid for it. The Sask Party is successfully playing on the bad optics of the double dipping to take any bounce the NDP might have gotten from their recent NDP convention. Who knew politics could get, so, like, political?
Dipper?? I thought he was just a plain old dipstick!!
Mr. g, I am shocked I tell you, shocked!

I was looking for stuff that rhymed.
BTW,did I mention I don’t like commies.

Does that go for Sask Party cabinet ministers
like Bill Boyd who have double dipping from the rural conservative welfare bum trough
and leeching off Sask families since the earth cooled. SDA, proving yet again
there ain’t no hypocrite like a right wing hypocrite.
djb, the issue is that the NDP in 2008 made a very big stink about double dipping. A huge issue for them. Now that one of their own, Glorious Leader, is receiving the very benefit they raised cane over are now silent. Typical NDP dogma, everyone is equal except some are more equal than others.
Myself, I could care less if he double dips, I know lots of teachers, nurses, executives etc. who do that. The issue is where is the consistency in policy.
To Phil, biffjr, djb follow along please.
Ole’ Link, New Double Dipper, this is not fair, he is entitled to his entitlements. It was his own NDP MLAs — like Kevin Yates, Len Taylor, Kim Trew, Warren McCall, Ron Harper, Pat Atkinson and David Forbes — who in 2008 (during debate on the Superannuation Act) railed on that the practice of ex-civil servants double-dipping on their pensions, after returning to work and drawing government salaries, needed to stop.

Single Malt Scotch – What I meant to say was that, like you, I couldn’t care less what Lingenfelter does with his pension. I also agree that, if it involved a Sask Party MLA, the outcry from the hypocritical NDP would have been deafening. Although I have the utmost respect for Bill Boyd, I wish that he would have just left it alone.
Anyway … being put in the same category as Phil … ouch!
