City Council approves new expense policy

Toronto City Council has approved new stricter expense guidelines. The good news is that the City will post expenses on a website. Currently, crank Councillor Rob Ford has his own website posting councillor expenses. Radio reports yesterday suggested that the new rules are perhaps watered down guidelines and even stricter controls are needed.

I don't have a very high trust level when it comes to our City Council. In my view, the greater the transparency and accountability, the better.
