SNOWDEN – A Political “Education” – alleges state tax dollars funding Rep’s DNC trip
A Political “Education” Delegates and alternates should pay our own way. Both parties have better uses for their funds, and it’s not as if anyone in either party would expect THE TAXPAYER to foot the bill for their purely political fun and games. Or, would they?
