Odd Expenses?!?

-------- Your tax dollars at work ---------

In the 147 pages of Mr. Anderson's expenses are some odd receipts/notations.

1. A receipt for January 26 and 27 made out to Mr. Frank Anderson, Exhibitions Association of NS, Yarmouth Arriving January 26 and departing January 29, 2006 with all additional pages of the bill from the Westin missing for the 28th and 29th of Janaury 2006. On January 26, three rooms are charged to Mr. Anderson's account and on January 27, seven rooms are charged to his account.

Now, here is where is gets really confusing..... if Mr. Anderson was there on SWSDA business why is he only charging SWSDA for one night's accommodation?

On the other hand, if I assume he was there only one day on SWSDA business (since he's only charging SWSDA for one night), why is he charging SWSDA for accommodation for January 30/31, 2006 and not as reflected in the receipt at the Westin for January 26, 2006.

It gets better.... On January 26, 2006 Mr. Anderson has a receipt from the Triangle Ale House for $80.48 plus a handwitten tip of $20.00 for a total of $110.48 apparently charged to SWSDA as a SWSDA business expense when he wasn't there on SWSDA business on Janaury 26, 2006.

Without putting too fine a point on the confusion... here's where real questions arise. On January 25, 26, and 27 he claims taxi receipts of $8.00, $10.00, $10.00, $10.00, $8.00, $10.00 and $10.00 .... and on January 28, 2006 he claims $46.00 for what looks like drinks and or food at the Westin Hotel plus a handwritten tip of $8.00 for a total of $54.00 while apparently on Exhibition business.

And, the coup de grace... Mr. Anderson bills SWSDA for mileage on January 30/31 to Halifax return to Yarmouth of $192.18 when he really appears to have been there primarily on Exhibition Business! Or... was he? Who can tell?
