EDMONTON — Alberta’s auditor general says former premier Alison Redford and her office used public resources inappropriately.


Merwan Saher concludes that they consistently failed to demonstrate that travel expenses were necessary and a reasonable and appropriate use of taxpayer money.


He says Redford used public assets, including government aircraft, for personal and partisan purposes.


Saher also says that Redford was involved in a plan to add a premier’s suite to a government building being renovated near the legislature.


He blames an aura of power around Redford and her office and the perception that their influence should not be questioned.


Saher makes the conclusions in a review of Redford’s travel expenses and use of government aircraft.
