"State Board of Education Chairman Howard Lee could have saved the state more than $26,000 by leasing a car for official business rather than renting one in recent years, according to a state audit. [...] Because his work for the education board required frequent trips across the state, Lee rented a Chrysler 300 from Triangle Rent-a-Car from September 2004 to November 2006 and from Enterprise Rent-a-Car from February to June. The state spent $51,030 for the rentals, along with $6,070 in gas reimbursements to Lee, according to the audit. Leasing a Chrysler from a local dealership for three years would have cost the state $30,655, including the gas reimbursement, for a $26,455 savings, the audit said."

why is this not shocking

11/27/2007 1:26:09 PM

cause you people elect a bunch of cluster-fucks

11/27/2007 1:29:39 PM

they could've just bought it

...that doesn't sound right

11/27/2007 1:30:03 PM

why not this is shocking

11/27/2007 1:30:10 PM

and you could have outright bought it for 27-34k.

11/27/2007 1:30:31 PM

the cheap model

The 300 M which is the good model is closer to 37-40

11/27/2007 1:31:21 PM

the 300m hasn't been made in years. The 300c (the one with the hemi) could be bought for 32k.

11/27/2007 1:33:07 PM

or he could get a malibu like everybody else

11/27/2007 1:34:18 PM

11/27/2007 1:35:23 PM

or he could have quit fucking taxpayers and took one of the thousands of govt vehicles that they already have

11/27/2007 1:35:54 PM

haha, now you're just being unreasonable

11/27/2007 1:36:41 PM

The report is missing some information. If it was leased you'd have to figure in the expense of the rims/tinting/system and gold emblems he would have had installed.

11/27/2007 1:37:53 PM

useless without pics

11/27/2007 1:39:47 PM

^^you said what i was thinking

11/27/2007 7:57:33 PM

the truth of American politics is no one cares about background or any of those other things you should research before you choose who to elect anymore they just check off whoever says what they wanna hear. If someone said he would give everyone in America one million dollars I guarantee he would be elected.
