“Frankly, on the basis of … how we’re paid at the legislature, I can’t afford two houses,” he said in an interview. “I make $112,500 a year. Some people think that’s a lot of money. To do what I have to do, or any MPP has to do, it’s not very much at all.”

PS. I know a fellow whose job is to run a printing press who owns three condo units around T.O. He works hard and saves and invests. Peter Shurman could learn a lesson from him.
During the last provincial election this was brought up as an issue I recall by the Liberal candidate. If my memory serves me correctly Shurman always claimed that his place in NFOL was simply a cottage and not a primary residence.
