Another round of spending accusations is hitting the Alberta government.
This time it’s for spending more than $21-million per year on its 214 communications professionals
Derek Fildebrandt, the Alberta director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, tells the National Post, it is a number that far outweighs the number of government reporters.
He said he was shocked when he discovered the sheer number of staffers.
