I'm not sure what all the outrage is about for her London trip. This is the cost of doing business.
Anyways here is her last 4 years of expenses. and seriously? she had breakfast for 4 at the Palliser for $80? she must have pulled her Premier card there! haha
The receipts and expense forms date from the time when she first became an MLA in March 2008, through her four years as justice minister and the past year as premier.
A quick analysis of the receipts offers a glimpse into the daily life of a top-level politician. They show a mix of relatively inexpensive meals along with a handful of much more costly bills, particularly when Redford has travelled on government business.
As premier, Redford has almost always flown in business class, including a $12,000 fare for a trip to China in June. That trip also saw Redford charge about $2,900 for an interpreter for three days of meetings and $1,280 for photos to be taken.
On an excursion to Washington, D.C., earlier in June, the premier had a $915 bill for one night’s stay in the Hay-Adams hotel.
There was also an expensive two-night stay at the Waldorf Astoria in New York. The premier ordered room service coffee at one point, which came to more than $22 with taxes and fees added on.
