State Dept. Racks Up Hefty Liquor Tab To Properly Represent U.S.

Posted: 16 Apr 2010 09:30 AM PDT

While Americans continue to struggle financially one federal agency alone annually spends hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on booze, despite the president's strict order to slash wasteful spending in government.

Headed by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the U.S. Department of State is known to rack up hefty yearly liquor tabs that often exceed a quarter of a million dollars, according to newspaper analysis of agency records. Officials at the executive agency responsible for the country's international relations seem to have exquisite taste in alcohol.

Last year alone the State Department stuck taxpayers with a whopping $300,000 bill for alcoholic beverages, nearly double the amount billed the previous year, according to spending records analyzed in the probe. The purchases included $2,483 for "assorted spirits for gratuities to vendors" at the U.S. mission to the United Nations in New York and $9,501 for "Christmas gratuities" of whiskey and wine at the U.S. Embassy in South Korea. Shortly after President Obama urged federal agencies to cut wasteful spending, the State Department dished out nearly $4,000 on Jack Daniels whiskey for an overseas embassy.

Examples of purchases in previous years include more than $20,000 for "representational liquors for Christmas gratuities" for the U.S. Embassy in Greece, $7,554 for a "supply of alcoholic beverages and gratuities" at the U.S. Embassy in India and $7,160 on alcohol and "gratuities for local contacts" for the U.S. Consulate in St. Petersburg. The U.S. Embassy in Belgium also paid more than $5,000 for red and white wine.

The State Department also spends hefty sums on liquor domestically, not just abroad. A New York store billed the agency more than $50,000 for alcohol purchases for the U.S. representation at the United Nations. In all, the State Department has spent more than $1 million on booze since 2004.

It's all part of the department's work in representing the United States and its interests here and abroad, according to a State Department spokesman, who assures the expenditures are permitted under law. In fact, the Secretary of State may provide for receptions, entertainment and "representational expenses" to enable the proper representation of the United States and its interests, the agency spokesman points out.

D.C. Mayor Gives Pal Lucrative Contract

Posted: 16 Apr 2010 07:56 AM PDT

 

A mayor already in trouble for taking controversial overseas trips financed by Arab and Communist governments and unscrupulously using tax dollars to promote a campaign donor's business is in hot water for giving his fraternity brother a lucrative city contract.

It simply marks the latest of many scandals to rock the perpetually corrupt District of Columbia Council, which includes a convicted crack head (Mayor Marion Barry) who evades taxes and stalked a former girlfriend and a chairman (Vincent Gray) who illegally used official stationary to solicit donations for the Democratic Party and a politically-connected city contractor to renovate his house.

Leading the crooked pack is Mayor Adrian Fenty, who in recent years has starred in various scandals of his own. First he used taxpayer-funded advertisements to promote a family business that donated thousands of dollars to his political campaign. Then he took highly questionable jaunts to Dubai and China on taxpayer time. The excursions cost tens of thousands of dollars and were financed by the foreign governments. Judicial Watch obtained the documents related to the trips through public records requests. Click here to see them.

This week the District's largest newspaper reports that Fenty gave his fraternity brother (Omar Karim) a $4.2 million gig to oversee a separate $50 million city contract to renovate D.C. parks and recreation centers. Slipped into Karim's sweet deal was an unusual second fee of more than $700,000 that's considered "highly unorthodox" in a public project, according to procurement experts.

Disguised as a "consultant's markup," Fenty claims, through aides, that the arrangement is "standard," though other high-ranking District officials immediately challenged it. Among them was the chairman of the D.C. Housing Authority, who got "removed" by Fenty when he tried to stop the shady project. Fenty cronies tried to convince the official to let the project proceed, but he refused and got canned.

The mayor is also under fire for giving other close pals major public contracts, though he vehemently denies taking part in the award process. Many of his closest friends have enriched themselves with taxpayer dollars and the issue may haunt Fenty as he seeks reelection this year. Then again, these sorts of things don't seem to bother D.C. voters.

After all, they continue reelecting one of the nation's most corrupt politicians (Marion Barry), even after a drug conviction, tax evasion, illegally giving a bogus $15,000 city contract to his girlfriend, steering millions of local dollars to his "nonprofits"….The list goes on yet Barry, D.C.'s one-time mayor, remains a fixture on the council.
