Feds Cover Laval's $1.1M Tax Bill from Corrupt Mayor
Description
The federal government is covering a $1.1 million tax bill for Laval, Quebec, following a corruption scandal involving former mayor Gilles Vaillancourt. Vaillancourt was ordered to pay back over $8 million, including money in a Swiss bank account. Current mayor Stéphane Boyer appealed to Ottawa, arguing it was unfair for taxpayers to bear the burden. The Finance Ministers office confirmed the payment, acknowledging the unfair tax situation arising from recovering funds from Vaillancourts illicit activities.
