Taxpayers get bill for Elk Grove Mayor’s trip to Beltway!
One of the pleasures in life is enjoying a good time, especially when someone else pays. This is the lesson the Mayor of Elk Grove will teach her two new political prodigies.
According to the city’s check register attached to this evening’s Elk Grove City Council meeting, that is precisely what Mayor Bobbie Singh-Allen did last month. According to the report, taxpayers shelled out over $2,200 for the mayor’s travel expenses.
The report shows three entries:
As she reported on her social media accounts last month, the mayor attended a Diwali festival in our nation’s capital. The best part, at least for Singh-Allen and whoever else went along for the free ride, is taxpayers paid for it.
Now we are sure the mayor, her city council members, and the city executive staff will offer tortured rationalization that it was official business or some such malarkey. But really, how is attending a big party advancing the interests of Elk Grove residents?
Whoever said public service was a sacrifice needs to get a lesson or two from Mayor Singh-Allen because they obviously don’t know how to play the system.
