Buchanan(bushie)chided on travel expenses!
The report found "insufficient justification" for the overages in 26 of the 36 instances.

The report specifically noted a January 2009 trip in which Ms. Buchanan traveled to Harrisburg for the swearing-in of state Attorney General Tom Corbett.

"She stayed at a hotel in a resort destination 15 miles away from the inaugural city at a cost of $249 per night, which was almost two and a half times the applicable government rate," the report said.

Another instance cited was a trip to Tucson, Ariz., in July 2008. The conference she was attending was to run from Sunday evening until Wednesday.

But, according to the report, Ms. Buchanan arrived at the resort on the Friday before the conference and left on Monday. She went over the government rate for those three nights by a total of $136.

"No explanation was provided for her claiming reimbursement for the Friday and Saturday nights before the conference began," the report said.

"She argued that her secretary was responsible for third-party reimbursements and that she should not be held responsible for her secretary's failures," the report said.
