OPP Wage Increase Concerning


A five-per-cent pay increase for the OPP has local politicians across the province upset with the McGuinty government.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the OPP contract shows that the Liberal talk about wage restraint is "nothing but a joke.''

But the Premier insists his plan to curb salaries is still on track.

Fort Frances councillors voiced concerns about the OPP contract and the impact it will have on the town's policing costs back in December.
