Councillor expense rules 'tightened up' after Magliocca investigation


Article content
Councillor expense rules at Calgary’s city hall have been overhauled after the investigation of Coun. Joe Magliocca’s spending uncovered systemic issues in the oversight process.
Magliocca has repaid close to $10,000 to the city for expenses over the current council term that were reimbursed using public money, but later deemed inappropriate under council policy. Those costs included flight upgrades, hotel charges and meals and drinks for himself and other politicians and officials in some cases, the people he listed later said they were never hosted by the councillor.
