According to public documents, a 1,200 square foot condo in a gated community in Palm Springs is listed under Ms. Redford’s husband’s name. The condo was purchased as a foreclosure property for $180,000 in 2010.

No one at the residence picked up when the Post called on Saturday and Sunday.

When she was premier, Ms. Redford came under fire for taking a Government of Alberta plane from Palm Springs to attend the late Ralph Klein’s funeral at a cost of $9,200.

Mr. Bowley isn’t the only Albertan to have spotted Ms. Redford in Palm Springs since her resignation.

Sasa Kovacevic was in the California resort town over the Easter long weekend. He was attending a holiday brunch at the popular Lulu California Bistro when he says he heard her give her name to the hostess.

“I peeked over to my sister and said, ‘That’s Alison Redford.’ She sat down across the way from us in the waiting room. Basically, I was staring at her. When we exchanged glances after that, she clued in that I knew who she was and after that didn’t make any eye contact at all.”

Mr. Kovacevic said he doesn’t follow politics, but knew Ms. Redford had resigned.

“I just knew she had stepped down and the the reasons why she stepped down were to do with problems with money and travel. To me it was interesting to see someone who stepped down [for those reasons] immediately travelling again,” he said.

Several neighbours in the condominium complex said they had not noticed Ms. Redford. However one woman said her apartment appeared to be occupied as the lights had been kept on at night. Calls to Ms. Redford’s constituency office in Calgary-Elbow were not returned.
