Pennsylvania’s Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is leaning out the costs associated with having a second-in-command in the state’s executive branch.
To date, his office reports it has spent $776,000 less than it was appropriated in the last two years’ budget cycles.
The underspending was achieved through trimming money spent on salaries, travel, food, printing, conferences, furniture and office supplies, according to his office.
He also has never flown on the state plane. And he has chosen to forgo living in the state-provided residence and instead stays in a downtown Harrisburg apartment at his own expense when he is in the capital city.
“I don’t need a mansion or a plane, and I don’t need glossy stationary that says my name,” Fetterman said. “Nobody here is claiming per diems. Saving money is just common sense, especially during a pandemic that left millions of taxpayers out of work.”

Yeah. When’s the last time someone did this? Never!
All respect to someone realizing that because he has the money he doesn’t have to blow it all. Sad that this is an amazing one off story.
Cap The Knife blew big bucks on Defense. It worked.
Why would anyone believe numbers coming from this hack?
The budget for his office was reduced in the state budget. Should be easy to verify.
Melania.
Really? Who knew. She certainly didn’t mention it.
Explain please.
Simple. Weinburger cut spending as Secretary of HUD(or some other smaller department). Moves to Defense and the budget balloons. This rat lt. Gov will go the same route.
Fetterman is nothing more than a piece of schiff. He is an ultra-progressive authoritarian. Do not be impressed.
Ping to “under-spender”...
They can say anything but is it true? You better audit his office and find out the real truth. This man is a bonified POS! Don’t believe a single thing this idiot says.
Well, to be fair, POTUS Trump donated his entire salary to charity all four years.
Ok. Thanks.
