In 2007, six years after leaving politics as a Newfoundland and Labrador Liberal MHA, Dicks promised to repay money spent on personal items (including fine wines and artwork) using constituency allowance funds during his time as an MHA, after he was criticized in a report by the provincial auditor general.
