Virginia delegates will get over $800,000 this year for travel and meal expenses….while staying home??

March 7, 2021 by Wayne Creed 5 Comments

The Virginia Pilot reported on Wednesday that state delegates worked on the General Assembly agenda from home this year and skipped their usual travel, hotel stays and meals in Richmond.

At the same time, House members collectively took in over $800,000 in per diem stipends that are typically used to cover travel and housing expenses.

Democratic lawmakers say the money is subject to income taxes this year, as opposed to years past when it was considered nontaxable reimbursement for most lawmakers. They prefer the term “session expenses.”

    Why not simply be truthful and honest and call it for what it really is – theft from the taxpayers who are the best victims to steal from because there is no 911 for them to call to report the theft.

        That would be interesting if the thieves admitted they were thieves and returned what they purloined.

    Scandal anyone?????? Will the Virginia taxpayers just let this happen? There is so much need everywhere and yet they do this despicable money grab at taxpayer expense.

    If there is one thing a greedy, grasping hack politician feeding off the taxpayers can never have enough of, it is lucre!

    How those people can look at themselves in a mirror is a mystery to me.
