Redford's sister spending taxpayer's money

The Premieres sister has been using taxpayers money for political functions.

At the time, Lynn Redford was a senior executive at the Calgary Health Region.

She is now VP of special projects for AHS.

Through a Freedom of Information request, CBC News discovered that she was in all or in-part using publicly-funded institutions such as the Calgary Health Region to donate to politicians.

Alberta law states that this is illegal.

Reports show that she has used almost $3,500 in taxpayers money for expenses relating to Tory events.

She spent over $200 for drinks and liquor at a Tory barbeque.

The expenses were approved by Patti Grier, who is now chief of staff and corporate secretary for AHS.

Wildrose party Leader Danielle Smith is asking for an in-depth investigation into the billion practices of the former health regions.
