First-Class Travel Marks Pruitt's EPA Tenure

Unlike his predecessors, EPA Administrator often flies in business or first class on official business, racking up big bills at taxpayer expense. In one three day period last June he bought a first class round trip ticket between Washington and New York ($1,641.42); flew with Trump on Air Force One to Cincinnati (free!), before using a military jet to get to New York ($36,068.50) where he had a first class seat on a commercial flights to and from Rome ($7,0003.52). Federal regulations require officials to “should consider the least expensive class of travel that meets their needs.”
