Toronto Catholic Trustee Christine Nunziata wasn't the only board member writing cheques to pay back the board for taxpayer-funded credit card charges just before their expenses were made public last month.*
Trustee Maria Rizzo wrote the Toronto District Catholic School Board three money orders totaling $3,873.86 on Jan. 23, according to documents made public Jan. 31.
In two memos to education director Kevin Kobus dated Jan. 28, Rizzo states she is reimbursing the board $2,283.79 "for expenses related to board business that I would like to personally fund," and $1,292.53 and $297.54 for "reimbursement for board expenses."
Rizzo declined an interview request last night.
Rizzo-speak
Personally fund, huh... that's a new one...
