That whole swamp draining thing is going very well.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has been using taxpayer money to fund his own private jets and use of military planes to fly to his home in Whitefish, Montana as well as two two Caribbean islands.
A report from Politico revealed Zinke spent $12,375 on one trip to Whitefish from Las Vegas using a Beechcraft King Air 200.
During that trip to Las Vegas, Zinke spoke at an event for the city’s new professional hockey team.
Earlier in the day he flew to Pahrump, Nevada for an announcement about public lands.
He’s now the fourth senior official in President Donald Trump’s cabinet who has been caught using private jets instead of commercial travel for government trips.
Others include EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who has taken multiple trips back to Oklahoma, where some say he might run for Governor in 2018.
Most notably, however, is Secretary of Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price, who was caught spending $1 million so far on private jets and the use of military planes.
