Are the tax payers paying the bonus or is VANOC taking it out of their money pool? If it is the tax payers footing the bill then I believe WE the tax payers should have a say on WHO and HOW MUCH is given out as BONUSES. This is absolutely the worst kind of kick in the head for the HARD WORKING middle class once again. I am absolutely sick to death with the greed and people getting rediculous amounts of money on the tax payers dime.

A bonus? For going to the job you volunteered for?
For your job?
something in addition to what is expected or strictly due!

Should have made them all sign a contract stating that they had to stay until the job was done and not leave before. Instead of handing over "bonuses" to make them stay!

I wonder if we will get to see a list of how much each one of them gets?

Can't help but notice how fast this little gem was dropped from the mainstream media?
Which is exactly what happens with anything negative about the Olympics!
Such things as:
-Overall costs of the Olympics(unknown?),including a horrendus security bill that is probably way more than they are saying.
-The closing of downtown Vancouver starting in November,and what it will do to the merchants financially.
-B.C. Rail/Basi/Virk/Kinsella/missing emails/Premiers office/raid on legislature.
-Convention Center cost overruns.
-HST
-Cuts to social programs....on and on and on...so what is the mainstream media really doing, and who are really they working for?
