If I need golf lessons (and I do, badly), I'd consider that to be a personal expense. Even if it's allowed by council policy, I don't think elected officials should do that. It just looks bad. If anything, council members should be given a monthly allowance for drycleaning, maybe $20 or something like that. Then pay it yourself and don't expense it.

Your're an Edmonton alderman? (I see your location says: In the heart of Oiler country)
Do your constituents know about your hockey alliegances?
