Perry returns expense payment to state amid disbursement fallout
Aiken legislator Perry said he mailed back a 2258 expense reimbursement to the House clerk on Monday. He noted the postage account had funded legislative mailings for years and said returning the funds was proper to avoid further trouble. Fellow lawmakers James Roland Smith and Don Smith planned to follow suit in the week. A wire report cited over 124000 disbursed to about 68 members for telephone and postage expenses. Perry judged the move inappropriate if no mailing was planned and offered to pay out of pocket rather than incur further questions.
