GSA executive traveled lavishly after warnings
A timeline released by the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee on Tuesday showed that rs gold executive Jeff Neely took five trips totaling 44 days, including 17 days to Hawaii, Guam and Saipan that he and his wife planned as a birthday celebration.
All came after a buy runescape accounts May 2011 briefing by Inspector General Brian Miller on his preliminary findings. Although Miller was still 11 months away from publicly releasing his final report on GSA spending, he issued the early warning to stop the travel. But it continued.
For a second day, a House panel peppered current and former runescape gold officials with questions about the spending habits of the government's real estate agency.
The outrage again was bipartisan. Many questions were aimed more at a culture of excess rather than specifically at the taxpayer tab of nearly $823,000 for a Las Vegas-area conference in 2010. Neely hosted the conference.
Miller said he was investigating kickbacks and bribery and had recommended criminal prosecutions to the Justice Department.
The GSA's top official has resigned, two top aides were fired and at least 10 individuals have been placed on administrative leave.
Family members often went along on trips, and an email exchange between San Francisco-based Neely and his wife in November laid out plans for turning the 17-day trip to runescape accounts Hawaii, Guam and Saipan into a celebration.
