I think any time a Elected Official takes a trip and decides to take any of his or her family along it should be required that all cost of commercial travel, meals and housing computed for them should be paid directly to the general fund of the State or Federal budget before the trip out of the Official’s income.
We elect the Individual not their kids, spouses, parents or inlaws. These Multi-million dollar junkets and vacations would end.
I don’t disagree on that, and I think the bills should be separate from Hotels, restaurants, and other expenses.
