"Father" McGuinty's golden goose

This is probably the unkindest cut of all! 

Even after he squandered millions (billions?), and prorogued the legislature for another $300,000 in unearned salaries, he walks away with a golden handshake of $313,461.

But he's not the only well-paid 'rat' leaving the ship with his/her pocket full, i.e.:

Finance Minister Dwight Duncan and Energy Minister Chris Bentley -- who have also announced they’re packing it in before the next election -- could walk away with cheques worth $248,777.

Liberal leadership contenders former Liberal economic and development minister Sandra Pupatello, who chose not to run in 2011, and former environment minister John Wilkinson, who voters dismissed that same year, also each qualified for a $248,777 severance.

Former Tory MPP Elizabeth Witmer left her Kitchener-Waterloo office shortly after she was re-elected in 2011, sparking a byelection, was offered a $194,580 severance pay out.

Greg Sorbara, whose sudden departure from office launched a Vaughan byelection, was eligible for a $174,825 severance.

And this doesn't include pensions for life!!

So read 'em and weep, folks.
