CALGARY, AB: The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) released its fifth annual ‘Taxpayer Naughty & Nice List’ today. Government ministers, mayors, MLAs and party members made the lists for either naughtily wasting tax dollars or nicely thinking of taxpayers before they swiped that charge card.
“It’s not really the season of giving when politicians are giving to themselves,” said CTF Alberta Director Paige MacPherson. “Mr. Claus asked us for some recommendations for his Naughty and Nice List, so as always, we were happy to help out.”
The list is determined by policies and communication by provincial and municipal governments, as well as a CTF assessment of MLA expense claims filed at expenses.alberta.ca.
