Legislators Face Scrutiny Over Expensive Luncheon and Miscellaneous Reimbursements
The commission faulted a luncheon funded from expense accounts controlled by Minority Leader K. Leroy Irvis and Appropriations Chairman Richard McClatchy as lacking legislative purpose. It cited $1,112 overpaid to former Sen. Quentin Orlando for mileage while billing for a rented car, plus $465 for personalized marble weights for 50 senators, $115 for conference-related expenses in San Francisco, $92 for district office calls with a double reimbursement, $82 in duplicate daily expenses to Orlando and Senate Whip Eugene Scanlon, and $240 for an office Christmas party charged to Irvis’s account.
