Reagan aide says he does more than ranch jobs
Washington AP Dennis LeBlanc a 58500 year Commerce Department official who once worked for Ronald Reagan says he serves as the middleman between the president and others on Reagan’s ranch trips. He says he travels to the Santa Barbara area when the president is there and helps with ranch chores and coordinates support staff and communications gear. Speakes had been asked if paying a government official to chop wood is proper use of taxpayers money after a GAO report cited an unnamed high Commerce official doing chores during a ranch visit.
