Interpretation of table of expenses

I believe that the "expense report" and the table (which appears to be drawn from it), only show a list of payments for assets, not for other expenses such as payments to staff, excessive payments for snow/garbage removal, and so forth. The table is therefore very misleading.

For example, the Auditor General's report indicates Dave Wilson's total expenses to be $56,376 for the period, not $13,260.16 as listed in the table. This table should be updated (if the information is available) or at least labeled more appropriately. Similarly, the link to combined.pdf, should be labeled only as expenses for assets, not as a complete expense report.

I can't seem to find any report with the detailed breakdown of these other expenses, but hopefully they will be forthcoming. The media supposedly has them, but I can't find them.Easternguy (talk) 19:34, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
