Citizen's point of view II

Citizen's are very sensitive about how tax dollars are used. Travel to attend conferences, training, and meetings related to government business are necessary expenses. But it is important to always reflect on appearances. Here is a story about an audit of travel expenses. I was impressed that the reporter clarified the findings and put them in context. The reporter notes that the expenses were a "tiny fraction" of the total spent during the time period studied and also describes the methodology to arrive at the estimate of potential savings.
