Thanks for your comment. I can't speak for Councillor Rathor's expenses for 2009.

I'm sure that he will be glad to talk with you on this subject and address any concern(s) you have with regard to his 2009 Council Expenses

His email address is srathor@williamslake.ca or you can call him at home at (250) - 398-5222

Well you seem to be able to speak for the opinions of certain councilors quite a bit so i thought you might have some insight. And as far as calling him at him, i think thats in poor taste.

Thanks for your comment, but I only stating that I can not speak for individual Councillors' and their expenses incurred for 2009. As for leaving Councillor Rathor's contact info - my sole purpose there was to ensure that if you were concerned about the amount of expenses he incurred for 2009 or wanted to question him on it, you had a way to do so. I had no other intention than that
