FOX: Washington state Gov. Jay Inslee has reportedly been racking up bills in security and travel expenses, state records show.
Records cited by the Seattle Times indicate that the Executive Protection Unit (EPU) – which accompanies Inslee on domestic and international trips — has exceeded its $2.6 million budget by $400,000. And the costs are expected to rise.
n the past year, Inslee has made appearances in more than a dozen states – on official business and to campaign for Democratic candidates. The security detail that follows Inslee to-and-from events is akin to the Secret Service assigned to President Trump
Inslee’s post on the Democratic Governors Association ends in December, but the State Patrol is poised to increase its budget to cover the governor’s out-of-state travel over the next two years. The Patrol has already requested an additional $1.3 million to cover the costs of protecting the governor and his family, Northwest News Network reported, citing state troopers.
Troops assigned to Inslee’s travel events often work grueling schedules beyond the 40-hour workweek, Capt. Johnny Alexander of the Patrol’s Special Operations Division told the Times. And according to Sgt. Leonard Crichton, the schedule is starting to take its toll. read more
Socialists are expensive pets
Gee, who would have guessed?
Inslee appears to be an Obama disciple.
It would be nice to hear Capt. Johnny say, “Sorry, Guv, but we can’t make this trip ’cause we’re outa money. If you run into any trouble, just call 911.”
Hypocritical commie faggot sure seems to have a lot of armed guards for a guy opposed to second amendment.
Gross mismanagement and squandering money is a democrat tradition. They throw money around like drunks. The idiots that put him in office deserve whatever they get.
If he didn’t need the security detail before he will now.
@gin blossom – unfortunately the rest of get what stupid people vote for as well.
Inslee isn’t the governor so much as he is the front man for a taxpayer fleecing syndicate. Thank goodness his carbon tax fleecing idea got killed again. The guy is bad news.
worthless DEM-O-RAT
Seriously, who’s gunning for this gamma asshole? I hope those troopers rake-in the OT; the ‘people’ voted for it.
Start with holging salary at the rate of 80% per check. Plus all of his money paid to the state for taxes!
People were asking Governor Dimbulb last week if he would consider running for president in 2020. I turned the channel before he answered because I was eating dinner and didn’t want to puke.
