RATING CITY HALL's CLASS OF '03.

A report card on each of Toronto's 42 councillors as they near the end of their three-year term.

August 14th, 2003: The Toronto Sun - Sue-Ann Levy

THE MONEY TREE: Taxpayers must be growing one, the way some councillors spend.

"A list of office expenditures to the end of June 30, released yesterday, shows Coun. Sherene Shaw as the top spender. She has already spent $41,042 of her budget in the first six months of this year.

Shaw, who spent $20,997 jetting around the world last year faces a formidable opponent in November - Mike Del Grande, an accountant, former chairman of the Toronto Catholic school board and the kind of fiscal conservative this council needs. She couldn't be reached for comment yesterday on where her expense money went."
