XPost: can.politics, ab.politics, edm.general XPost: ab.general, bc.politics, ont.politics From: "@nyet.ca This woman knew no bounds when it came to abusing taxpayer dollars. She needs to be forced to pay it back. And her ex-husband lawyer, who also profited from her term in office, can represent her in court if he likes. Watching her with her pudgy daughter, it looks like she had to BUY friends for the kid. What a moral disaster that girl is going to be in future years. _________________________________________ CBC News Posted: Aug 07, 2014 Alison Redford used public money 'inappropriately,' AG says Merwan Saher found planes used for personal, partisan purposes, Redford involved in 'skypalace' Alison Redford and her office used taxpayer money "inappropriately" during her time as Alberta premier, with planes used for personal and partisan purposes, provincial Auditor General Merwan Saher has found. Saher released his report into Redford’s work expenses on Thursday morning. “They consistently failed to demonstrate in the documents we examined that their travel expenses were necessary and a reasonable and appropriate use of public resources,” Saher wrote. “Premier Redford used public assets (aircraft) for personal and partisan purposes. And Premier Redford was involved in a plan to convert public space in a public building into personal living space" In a written statement, Alberta Justice Minister Jonathan Denis said that the report has been forwarded to the RCMP for review. "I have instructed Tim Grant, deputy minister, justice and solicitor general, to forward the report and its attachments to the RCMP," Denis said in the news release. "Any investigation that the RCMP does will be fully independent of my office and, as such, I will have no further comment on the matter. “Should the RCMP require legal advice on its investigation, I have arranged for prosecutors with the Ontario attorney general's office to exclusively work on this matter. This will further ensure a fully independent investigation and remove any perception of conflict of interest.” Redford resigned as premier in March over questions about her spending, use of government planes and leadership style. She stepped down as MLA for Calgary-Elbow on Wednesday, one day before the release of Saher’s report. Daughter flew alone on government planes In the hard-hitting report, Saher found there was a tendency for the government “to work around or ignore rules” to fulfil requests from Redford’s office. It was done in a way “that avoided leaving the premier with personal responsibility for decisions,” the report states. “Other areas of government were wary of challenging decisions made in the premier’s office.” Saher found three examples of Redford's use government planes for trips that were solely for partisan purposes. He also confirmed the practice of “block booking” to make the plane appear full, so Redford and her entourage would fly alone The review also found cases where Redford flew alone with her teen daughter and the girl’s friends. There were even cases where her daughter flew by herself. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05 * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2) |
