No excuses, Simon.
As I read the article about our mayor spending almost double the budgeted amount, I call bull crap.
Yes, he said he would pay back the local hotel cost but the mere fact he chose a $242 hotel room over a $30 cab fare is alarming and we would not have known about it if CBC did not do research.
So many council members past and present talk the talk about watching costs at city hall but do not walk the walk and I wonder why Simon, who is a very smart man, thought this was acceptable. I, as one taxpayer, do not buy the fact he had to go across the country to learn how to be a mayor.
