Trevor J. Zinck (born 1970/1971) is a Canadian politician and member of the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, representing the riding of Dartmouth North as an Independent. He was first elected for the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party in the 2006 election, succeeding retiring NDP MLA Jerry Pye. He served as the Community Services critic for the NDP, and was re-elected in the 2009 election.
On March 25, 2010, Zinck was suspended from the NDP caucus over problems with his constituency expenses.[1] The provinces auditor general has since been called in to investigate the alleged expense irregularities.[2]
On October 8, 2010, it was reported that Zinck may lose his Dartmouth home due to his financial difficulties.[3]
On February 14, 2011, it was announced that Zinck was among four people facing criminal charges in connection with the RCMP investigation into 2010s MLA expense scandal. Zinck was charged with fraud exceeding $5,000, breach of trust by a public officer, and 2 counts of theft over $5,000.[4]
Prior to entering politics, Zinck was the head of the Dartmouth District 9 Citizens' association.
