O'Leary travel criticized for sloppy accounting and cost overruns
An internal inspector general draft report finds Hazel O'Leary's foreign trips marked by poor management, double hotel payments, and uncertain traveler counts. 16 trips since 1993 cost $4.57 million, with four trade missions to India, Pakistan, China, and South Africa driving $3.42 million. Additional overtime for security added $366,000, totaling higher than prior estimates. The IG report recommends 29 corrective steps and tighter travel procedures.
