Hillsview RepoRt- geoRgetown By: Florence Riehl The sunshine list is based on salaries of over $100k for public sector employees. Do you think $100k is reasonable, or should it be higher/lower? Heather Dabkowski: "No, I think it should be more because I don't think 100k is that much in this day or age." WORD ON THE STREET With Alex Hilson Mandi Townshend: "I think 100k is a reasonable limit. 100k is a very, very good salary." Darryl Cassey: "I think in this day and age the number should be bumped higher. What year did $100k become t h e n u m b e r , anyways?" Stephanie B a r r i n g t o n : " I would say 100k is reasonable when you look at the average Canadian income."
