Edmonton blows $92 million on consultants

Author: Scott Hennig 2009/12/24

"It is the most scathing auditor's report I have ever seen," said Edmonton city councillor Kim Krushell.

According to CTV, "In 2008, Edmonton spent $92 million on consultations. The documents show 25 per cent of consulting contracts cost more than what was agreed upon. And almost 60 per cent of the time, the information submitted was deemed insufficient."

Scott Hennig, CTF Alberta Director, says, "It's ridiculous. I don't know how the city isn't going after that and getting their money back. I hope they are."
