Patrick Brown spent $292K in final months at Queen´s Park
(The Star Food)
 


Former Progressive Conservative leader Patrick Brown spent $292,451 — almost an entire year’s office budget — in his final months at Queen’s Park.According to documents from the Ontario Legislative Assembly’s finance department, obtained by the Star, Brown submitted office and support staff expenses — including ongoing employee severance payments — totalling that amount from the start of the fiscal year in April. Brown did not run in the June 7 election, and he said his expenses in his final month before the writ was drawn in early May include severance payments to long-time staff, as well as a mass “thank you” mailout to constituents and two goodbye receptions.His expenditures are part of an incomplete list obtained by the Star that includes other non-returning MPPs. “I think it’s appropriate for people that have spent years working for you, that they are entitled to severances as outlined by the legislature,” Brown told the Star in a telephone interview, noting the severance payments continue into the next fiscal year.He said one employee, who has been with him since he was a federal MP, is now a senior citizen and “entitled to the maximum severance, which is just shy of a year.”Read more:An ex-homeless man could be Oshawa’s next mayor.
