Of 63 MLAswho made claims last year or were eligible to,31 claimed the maximum amount, while 32 claimed less than the limit.

The average claim was $18,831.

Liberal Leader David Swann claimed the least zero dollars but that comes with an asterisk.

"The reason is that I haven't submitted my expenses for this year yet," he said Friday. "I intend to submit those shortly."

Swann, who represents the constituency of CalgaryMountain View, said he has a paid-off condo in Edmonton so all he plans to claim are his condo fees, which total about $450 per month or roughly $5,400 for the year.

Another asterisk on the Speaker's claims

The highest claim came from Medicine Hat MLA Robert Wanner, but that one, too, comes with an asterisk.

Wannerserves as Speaker in the legislature and, as such, is in charge of the Legislative Assembly Office, which oversees all MLAexpense claims.

Wanner'schief of staff Alex McCuaig said the$25,090 claimed by the Speaker includes a missed payment from the previous fiscal year that was tacked on to the 2016/17 claims.
