Accountability: The Ron Liepert/Ed Stelmach Interpretation

I see that Liepert's "health superboard" that was supposed to save the province all this wonderful money has just voted themselves an enormous raise (25%) at a time when Liepert and Stelmach are making noises about cutting funding for health care in this province (which they've already started doing).

Now, someone tell me how, in a time of economic contraction where thousands of Albertans are finding themselves suddenly unemployed, this bunch of bandits in Edmonton can justify voting themselves a raise that is so huge?
