Lame Duck Rep Takes Trip to DC with Discretionary Funds
So I wrote about Rep Quintana going to DC a few days ago and I questioned if tax payers were funding a road trip for a lame duck rep and if so...why?
A couple of people got upset about it and obviously spoke before they knew the facts. They assumed that because she was invited by some young elected officials club that she was paying her own way. I had a hunch she wasn't.
And I was right. The city says (in this KVIA piece) the money from her trip will come from discretionary funds.
The question is, do you think it should have?
