Double-dipping. The tip on this Channel 5 info was found here.
One charge. Two payments. And some of those double payments come out of your taxpaying pocket!
Click here to read about Tennessee legislators who have been billing and collecting twice for one expense. Nothing like an all-expense paid trip where you collect those expenses twice!
And who stops this kind of abuse? Well, the people in charge of regulating campaign finances say they don't check for double-dipping.
Individuals have to do the "regulating" themselves and then file a sworn complaint before the Registry of Election Finance will take a glance at double-dipping.
It's good that there are news organizations (like Channel 5) who have investigative reporters who expose no-bid contracts, inflated charges for road work, highway patrol ticket-fixing and donations for promotions, conflicts of interest, and now double-dipping.
