Trips to Texas and Toronto comprised almost all of Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim's $20K in discretionary travel costs for the first half of 2023
Mayor Ken Sim and one of his top aides charged Vancouver taxpayers more than $16,000 to travel to the South by Southwest music and tech festival in Austin, Texas for a week last March.
The two trips comprised almost all of the mayor’s office’s $20,360.59 in discretionary travel costs shown in the city’s open data report for the first half of the year. The $1,231.63 for subscriptions to The Globe and Mail and Vancouver Sun was exceeded by $2,018.06 for red envelopes and candy handed out at the Lunar New Year Parade in Chinatown. In February 2022 alone, Stewart spent almost $9,700 from his communications budget on political ads carried by five Vancouver radio clusters.
Each one is allotted $30,000 annually for discretionary expenses and $9,858.58 for local expenses. Almost 70% spent on councillors so far is for their salaries.
