The expenses submitted by the city’s three attendees to a conference two months ago in Ottawa is a study in contrasts and further evidence that fiscal responsibility is in short order.
Mayor Cliff Barwick and Ald. Lori Baldwin-Sands settled into the same, rather moderately-priced hostelry, however their accommodation tabs show quite a spread.
Ald. Baldwin-Sands submitted a bill for $426.17 to cover three nights, while the mayor stayed in Ottawa four nights but his total came to $745.80.
Ald. Bill Aarts, meantime, is a far more upscale guy and chose to bed down in the ritzy Westin Hotel for three nights to the tune of $850.50.
