State travel audit urges caps on lodging meals and central office
A Legislative Audit Council report says state travel costs topped 63 million dollars in the year ending June 30 2003 and urges limits on hotel lodging meals and per diem. It recommends a central travel office and broader use of discount fares and actual expense reimbursement for non overnight trips. The report notes a high 357 dollar Hilton Head condo stay during the Heritage tournament and calls for tighter oversight to prevent abuses.
