-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------
On March 23, 2006 Mr. Anderson had lunch at O'Carroll's in Halifax at a cost of $32.91, flew to Ottawa and checked into the Minto Suites Hotel in Ottawa at a cost of $189.75, charged SWSDA for his regular daily meal allowance, before heading down Somerset street to wind up the day at Mamma Teresa's, a well known restaurant in Ottawa described in the following manner ....
" Mamma Teresa's is known internationally for its good food and warm, friendly atmosphere. Prime Ministers, Premiers, celebrities, and others who appreciate a pleasant dining experience, have all graced Mamma's tables." ..... and now Frank Anderson has too ....
Cost.... $176.34 plus a handwritten tip for $35.00 for a total cost of $211.34.
For lunch the next day he billed SWSDA for his daily meal allowance, had lunch at "Prime 360" an upscale Steak House located in the Hotel at a further meal cost of $59.27 plus a handwritten tip of $12.00 for a total cost of $71.27 before heading back to Yarmouth.
Another busy day lobbying in Ottawa...... Food and drinks for Mr. Anderson over 24 hours .... enough to feed more than two families for a week!
Impact on development in Southwest Nova Scotia..... Priceless!

Considering he uses his daily meal allowance, and then charges his fine dining to SWSDA as an extra in the form of expenses, there is just cause to demand an audit of his meal expense records alone. I suspect Mr. Anderson owes the Receiver General a hefty sum after years of double-dipping.
The managers of the various RDAs across the province are reading your blogs Ed and are wondering why SWSDA appears to have funds for these freebies.
Just discovered your site, and I see you have an exbanker as your RDA's CEO. After reading your blogs, I'm surprised at his previous career, because the bankers I know are frugal people and know where their every cent is going. Maybe that only applies when it is their own money they're spending?
