Backlash
Government will face some backlash for these types of habits. Now that tax reform is on the table, the situation will get more critical.
Raj Shah said the “use of military aircraft for cabinet and other essential travelers is sometimes an appropriate and necessary use of resources.”
He said “in the first eight months of this administration, the White House has significantly reduced the number of military air White House support missions.”
Earlier another White House staff member wanted to use a plane for his honeymoon. That request reached the media. He later withdrew his request.
Steven T. Mnuchin had originally planned to use a Government plane for personal use. Now Price is in the news for personal uses of Government Funds and Military jets.
It should come as no surprise if more persons are found wanting in this manner. Just what is going on with Federal funds?
How much could have gone undetected? What else could be happening under the radar?
More attention should be paid to Government funds. It is the tax payer’s right, that their money is spent wisely.
