Monthly Expense Disclosures
In an effort to be fully transparent and accountable to the residents of Innes Ward and the City of Ottawa, I have proactively published my monthly office expenses. The financial records below are updated once they are confirmed and posted by the Office of the City Clerk.
I would be happy to answer any questions or provide further documentation regarding expenses incurred by my office. You can always reach me by email at Laura.Dudas@ottawa.ca or by phone at 613-580-2472.
