Pay for travel? where did I say that? Way to crop my post to take it out of context so you could put words in my mouth though. I agree with some expenses covered, but I just believe that others shouldn't. Do you honestly think that I said/think they should pay for flights for official business? Meals are a joke, I've always thought that. You're going to have to eat anyway, who cares if it's business. Never understood that one. Unless it's some sort of official function. Two people having dinner and they spend 5 mins talking about business and now it's a free meal. Yeah, that seems totally legit. I don't agree with lawyers fees being paid for either by the government either.
