Hydro One rates just went up again. Here's one of the reasons why...

The Canadian Press reported that in the 2013 Sunshine list, a list of $100,000 earners, Tom Mitchell, the president and CEO of Ontario Power Generation, was the highest paid bureaucrat (in all Ontario) at $1.7 million. 

 Mitchell was paid a salary of $800,000 in 2011, unchanged from the previous two years. He also received incentive pay of $1-million in 2011, bringing his total compensation to $1.8-million, $500,000 higher than in 2010.

The so-called sunshine list of workers earning at least $100,000 — which includes doctors, nurses, teachers, police and firefighters in addition to civil servants — increased 11 per cent last year to 88,412. The number has jumped 38 per cent since 2009.

However, the government says the average salary on the list deceased by $41 from 2011 to $127,566.

Another shocker is that nearly 8,000 other people who work at OPG also made the list of $100,000 earners as well.

 Hydro One CEO Laura Formosa made $1.04 million last year.

 When there are seniors paying more for hydro than groceries, one wonders how Wynne and Chiareli can look at themselves in the morning.

 It is disgusting beyond belief.
