Mary Sjostrom cleared in spending debacle in Quesnel

Recently - the City of Quesnel Auditor, currently Ron Rasmussen, who also is the Cariboo Regional District Auditor of record, was asked to look into allegations concerning cheques issued to Mary Sjostrom in her roles as City Councillor from 2006-2008 and Mayor from 2008-present

See below for the official response from Ron Rasmussen:

Now - that Mary Sjostrom has been officially cleared of allegations coming from Sushil Thapar - I hope that he will choose to move on to more topical matters, but sadly I know he won't because this is all about the civic election in Quesnel.  If he doesn't like how Mary Sjostrom has performed as Mayor (and for myself - she's done an excellent job) then he should do the honourable thing and run against her in November for the Quesnel Mayor's post.  This also applies to Quesnel Councillor Ron Paull, but sadly the both of them will not sum up the courage to do so, I'm afraid.  These gentlemen seem to find it easier to throw mud and be negative, rather than offer constructive criticism and provide positive solutions to the problems that face Quesnel
