Is the hidden money of HRM councillors every accounted for? Every councillor (I don't know about the mayor) has a discretionary fund of over $60,000 per year that they can spend as they see fit. After seeing what went on in Province house we have to ask ourselves just how do they spend it. It is public money yet as far as I know there is no public accounting or accountability for it. They could just as easily spend it on themselves the way the provincial people have been doing. Drop a bit here and a bit there so people will say, "we got money from councillor so and so", but how do the taxpayers know exactly where it all goes. At least force an open accounting of this public money, every cent or, better, stop the practice all together and save the Halifax ratepayers over $1,00,000 per year. I don't like to tar every politician with the same brush as I am sure they do not like being tarred with it, therefore let them stop spending our money in secret and show where every cent of this annual largess is spent or stop it all together.
