When's the last time you had...

...a lobster dinner?
-- QUEENS PARK -- The Ontario PCs are questioning lobster dinners and exotic travel expensed by Workplace Safety and Insurance Board chairman Steve Mahoney who made more than $140,000 last year for what they dubbed "part-time" work.

The FOI documents show that Mahoney expensed a $313.88 dinner at Lobster on the Wharf in P.E.I. on Oct. 19, 2007, including three "lazyman's lobsters" for $101.97, oysters, mussels, halibut, pie and $40 tip for Mahoney, three board members and two other guests.

"He may be part-time, but Mr. Mahoney billed over $140,000 last year," Elliott said in the legislature referring to his per diems.

Liberal cabinet ministers have repeatedly vowed to keep WSIB spending in check.
Just something to remember the next time you pay your taxes.
