Rosemary Riddell: Retired district court judge says taxpayer-funded perks are reasonable

A retired district court judge is defending taxpayer-funded perks her former colleagues receive. The Post reports benefits for first appointments, or if a district court judge is required to move, include new carpets and curtains, and new school uniforms for children. They also get business-class flights, annual Koru membership and allowances for spouses while on work-related travel. Retired district court judge Rosemary Riddell told Heather du Plessis Allan it's reasonable. “Judges in many cases have to move from one end of the country to the other, so I don’t see anything unusual in that.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
