VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Executives at TransLink have racked up more than $150,000 worth of car expenses in 2006, and you paid for it.


There are 14 members of TranLink's executive team. CEO Patricia Jacobson racked up the biggest bill. She spent more than $14,000 on her car.


Chief Officer Robert Kind had the second highest bill, spending more than $13,000. And Director of Communications, Ken Hardie, ran up the third-highest bill. Even though he doesn't lease, he receives a car allowance of more than $6,000. Including gas, repairs and insurance, he spent more than $13,000 keeping his 1997 Chrysler Cirrus on the road.


Jacobson isn't making any apologies for the fact that the publicly funded TransLink subsidizes car use for its executives.
