Taxi expenses dredge up Adam Giambrone sex scandal

Just when Adam Giambrone could have put the whole mess over his sexual indiscretions behind him, they have come back to haunt him once again.

Giambrone, the chairman of the Toronto Transit Commission, was criticized this week for claiming $2,400 in taxi rides in his office budget.

And now, it appears it might not all have been business. Expense records suggest that back in January, 2009, Giambrone expensed a $10 cab ride he took for a date with Kristen Lucas, the young woman who helped unravel his mayoral campaign almost as soon as it began.

The news prompted Giambrone to issue yet another apology in a statement released to some media Thursday, saying, “I apologize if a personal expense may have been submitted in error." He made a donation to the city for the same amount as penance.
