Mansion spending records indicate improper billing by Virginia governor and his family. RICHMOND — Virginia Gov. Robert F. McDonnell (R) and his wife, Maureen, have used taxpayer money for a range of personal items they should have paid for themselves under state policy, according to spending records.This asshole should be removed from office and charged with fraud for stealing from the tax payers. McDonnell and his wife defrauded over $300.00 (that we know of), they're not King and Queen, they're public servants.
The McDonnells have billed the state for body wash, sunscreen, dog vitamins and a digestive system “detox cleanse,” the records show. They also used a state employee to run personal errands for their adult children. In the middle of a workday, a staffer retrieved Rachel McDonnell’s newly hemmed pants at a tailoring shop nine miles from the governor’s mansion.
About six months into the governor’s term, the official who oversees mansion spending told the McDonnells that they should not have charged taxpayers for a number of expenses, including deodorant, shoe repairs and dry-cleaning. The official asked the McDonnells to pay the state back more than $300.
Many have called for a recall election and charges brought for misuse of public funds.
