The new speaker of the house wants to continue using military aircraff- just as her predecessor had, tho she wants to include her family and california delegation.

Do you feel this is a scandal?

California is 3000 miles from Washington. I think corporate paid jet trips are akin to a campaigne favor.

Might it be different if folks other then her re-imburse for such travel ?

Do you think she is out of line by this request?

Ok, I am not fully aware of the story behind this, so can only go on what is written here.....
Surely if she is using military aircraft then it cannot be a campaign favour as all tax payers are footing a piece of the bill? However if {insert corporation here} pays for a private jet to whisk a politician home then that does create an issue in my eyes. I do think that extending the use of tax funded aircraft to include too much of her entourage is a bad thing to an extent, a dead-head seat on a military aircraft making the journey anyway is more acceptable for a sisters asstistant deputy secretary than laying on full aircraft and crew.

I seen it on lou dobbs, CNN, and on KTLA evening news.

after 9-11, the then speaker of the house began using milittary aircraft for his security.
