Apparently Chandler is now claiming that number is closer to $180K. (Source: http://www.cbc.ca/canada/calgary/story/2007/12/17/chandler-independent.html )

(Amazing how it grows, eh?)

He justifies the number by stating "We spent $127,000 not just for the nomination, but ran it as it was an election. We laid a solid foundation for the vote: 4 seperate pieces of literature that hit every house, a paid phone and doorknocking team that called and phoned every household. We were expecting to win so this expenditure would have made it easier for the writ period of the election in March. " (Source: http://www.projectalberta.com/board/viewtopic.php?t=6286)

The cynic in me wants to know just how much of that was his OWN salary, or that of his wife. Certainly the "literature" was a cheap black photocopy on cheap coloured paper - and VERY poorly done at that.
