64. Champagne Taste on a County Commission Budget, Part 1: The Receipt George Teal Doesn’t Want Us to See
Episode Description
What we suspected has been confirmed, and the price of George Teal’s plane ticket to Dubai is so inflated that feels like a middle finger to taxpayers. In this episode, we’re getting very detailed: we’re talking about the extravagant flight that no normal business would allow, let alone a county government; the rules/policies Commissioner Teal broke, and the twist that I didn’t see coming (but should have). This is part 1 of 3.
*Correction - I said Teal spent $17,010 on the flight, it was $17,091. I usually just say $17,000 to make it less of a mouthful.
Thank you to my fellow sleuths on this case!
