Has Sen. Menendez resigned yet? Oh, Dems don’t give a crap about ethics, that’s right.
he would reimburse taxpayers for just a small fraction of the cost of his flights,
$400,000 in price, he’s willing to replay $50,000!
They should put Sleepy Doc in there, he already discovered a bunch of waste at HUD.
What was the guy thinking?
Another example of why we can’t have nice things...
Ben Carson as a replacement, maybe? Who would be the best replacement, if you could make it happen?
Is he maybe getting the heave-ho for not doing anything that ACA empowers the secretary to do?
A longtime critic of wasteful federal spending and the administration's putative point man on attacking Obamacare — Price had taken 26 flights on charter plans since May, according to a Politico investigation.In June, Price traveled on a $17,760 roundtrip charter from Washington to Nashville, Tennessee, Politico revealed. He spent less than six hours there, making two official appearances and eating lunch with his son.
In a four-day stretch in September, Price took flights costing an estimated $60,000 in total, according to Politico. Some of those flights came at times when dramatically cheaper commercial air travel would have been available.
Politico on Thursday reported that Price had also taken trips overseas using military jets, at a cost of more than $500,000 — putting the total tab for his penchant for pricey travel above $1 million.
I like Trump keeping his people accountable. That’s a nice change.
Wonder if anyone is taking a look at Obama appointees and their travel for comparison. We know the Secretary of State and her family did a lot of flying - but what about others.
This is as close to STUPIDITY as I have ever seen.....$400,000 is the salary of onre of these jackasses
How about some research on Obama officials taking “costly private plane trips instead of less-expensive commercial flights” as a comparison?
And what about the many times Moochie Obama wouldn’t fly in the same airplane as Barack and taxpayers had to foot the bill for her to fly in a separate 747?

NEXT!
I don’t know what he did for 10months... seriously, what exactly is his job?

!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Until he got to be the one wasting it.
First of all he should lose his job. He knows that the country elected PDT to drain the swamp. What did he think would happen
However, I would love to see what other HHS secretaries spent on travel. Just curious.
Saw this at Newsweak...
“Back in July, he also joked to a crowd of Boy Scouts that he might fire the Health and Human Services secretary if he failed to get Obamacare repealed and replaced.
“He better get (the votes),” Trump told the befuddled kids. “He better get them. Oh, he better. Otherwise I’ll say, ‘Tom, you’re fired.’ I’ll get somebody.” “
Maybe...
Wasn’t Comey flying around in an FBI owned jet. IIRC he traveled to and from LA on a personal FBI jet the day he was fired.
Pour encourager les autres.

How frequent are commercial flights between D.C. and Nashville?
