HOW TO READ THIS SPREADSHEET:
This database was created using credit card statements and receipts provided to Kamloops This Week through a Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act request. It shows about five years’ worth of expenses charged to former Thompson-Nicola Regional District CAO Sukh Gill’s credit card, which is funded by taxpayer dollars. The receipts often had written on the back the names of people upon whom the charges were spent. Some of the backs of receipts also listed various TNRD budgets to which the expense should be filed. Those are included below. In addition, KTW included as much relevant information as possible from the documents to the database, including additional receipt details and dates and times on receipts, which show more specifically than credit card statement post dates the days and times expenses occurred. The spreadsheet is sorted by the credit card statement post date, however, as not all of the transactions had receipts. KTW also analyzed upon whom the TNRD spent taxpayer money, providing a peek behind the curtain of government bureaucracy in the region. If certain details are missing, it is either because they were not available through the documents, receipts were not legible or it was not deemed relevant. For example, it did not seem necessary to include the receipt purchase date and statement post date for hotel stays, though that information seemed pertinent for restaurant visits. Most receipts provided to KTW were not itemized. To ensure no changes can be made, the data has been locked. To sort through the spreadsheet, turn on filtering. The data can then be organized into categories, including purchase locations, amounts, types of purchases and people upon whom the regional district spent money. Readers are also free to copy and paste the data into their own spreadsheet for further analysis. Kamloops This Week used this information in part to inform its investigation into Gill’s sudden departure from the TNRD in February 2020. Some, but not all, of it is used in those stories. If you have any questions or comments, email jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com.
