2 Million Dollar Golf Outing For Broke US Postal Service
This government is such a sham. From $60,000 IRS Star Trek Videos and $100,000+ for NEW government jobs in various departments, the sequester is a big lie being shoved down Americans throats. Now this little party for the bankrupt postal service. What a bunch of bullshit!
Four hundred U.S. Postal Service executives are heading to San Francisco next month for workshops, meetings — and a dance party. And a golf tournament. And a dinner event.
That’s according to a report by KTVU, which found 400 USPS staffers, including the postmaster general, are set to attend the four-day National Postal Forum in March at the Moscone Center in California.
The trip is expected to cost the flailing agency — which is pushing to stop Saturday letter delivery due to revenue issues — more than $2 million, KTVU reports. An estimated $220,000 is going to spent on exhibit space, according to the news agency.
The event kicks off with a golf outing at Harding Park in San Francisco, KTVU reports. Meetings and workshops are part of the conference — but so are plenty of relaxing events, like a dance party, according to KTVU. Moreover, area hotel costs hit at $300 a night, the station reports.
