SOMEONE had to vote to create this ‘office’ & vote to staff it & vote to let this money be paid out.
WHO signed the checks or signed/approved the electronic transfer of funds???
What various budgets did the money come from??????
Who signed off on $220,000 payout in behalf of Hastings bad behavior. ????
This cannot happen in a vacuum. Someone handled it. Someone voted on the origination of these 2 ‘offices’ in the first place.
I was speaking of a public vote for such a thing.
There was none.
Representatives are saying they never heard of this arrangement and are calling for an investigation and a vote to stop this mis-use of tax payer money footing the bill.
I was saying the vote to stop it will sail through the House. That’s all. It isn’t
exactly a vote of courage, but one of common sense that no one dare vote against if they expect to get themselves re-elected.
