Council Walks Out on Council

Fort Frances councillor Ken Perry walked out of last night's council meeting after being refused a reimbursement of expenses incurred during at a recent meeting in Toronto.

No reason for the decision was publicly stated, but Perry later told CFOB-News it related to a return air flight from last month's Ontario Good Roads Conference.

Perry left from Toronto for a vacation in Las Vegas after the conference, instead of returning back to Winnipeg.

Perry says he was simply seeking the money the town saved by the change in flight, but was told he was not eligible because he did not incur any one-of-pocket expenses.
