$432,000 tax dollars spent on subscription fees to politico last year?! Stunning.
Questions for the House committee:
1. What exactly did we buy with that money?
2. Did we pay more or less than anyone else?
3. Who requested the payment / Who authorized it?
4, What other US departments are sending payments to Politico?
5. Are we making similar payments to other news services?
6. Did Politico invoice us for the $43K?
7. What did Politico believe they were selling?
8. What did Politico expect to do in return for the payment?
9. Who at Politico negotiated this deal? / What is his/her background?
10. Of Poltico’s 2014 balance sheet, what percentatage of their income came from US Gov’t departments?
Excellent questions that should and must be asked.
You need to shift everything down by one (and #3 moved up one):
1) By whose authority were taxpayer funds...
Course, we all KNOW every penny is the govts’ *rolls eyes*....
Anyone have their tax ID number?
