Didn't the ORNGE helicopter scandal cost us more than that if we include the cost of the 12 helicopters @ 12 million dollars each, the cost of re-fitting the helicopters, the 2 helicopters that we didn't need that are still currently sitting in storage (for sale) in Philadelphia & are still costing the Ont. tax payer about $10,000.00 per day in storage fees? They will never be sold @ a profit, because of those storage fees & the fact that they are now out of date models, could mean they are unsalable.


Quoting the Tor Star: "In Ontario, the Ontario Provincial Police are one year into an investigation of various issues related to ORNGE air ambulance. One line of investigation the police are probing relates to a payment of $4.8 million to a for-profit company controlled by founder Chris Mazza’s company after the non-profit ORNGE purchased 12 helicopters for a cost of $144 million. Mazza has denied any wrongdoing."


I don't think we will know for a very long time, if ever, just how much Mr. McG' & his buddies cost us.
