Republican Mia Love pays back taxpayers for another flight
Vulnerable freshman Rep. Mia Love (R-Utah) is reimbursing taxpayers for yet another questionable flight, her office told The Hill on Monday.
Love, a GOP rising star and fiscal conservative, billed taxpayers for a pair of flights from Washington to Salt Lake City on consecutive days, Feb. 5 and 6, House records show. But Love never boarded the Feb. 5 flight, her spokesman confirmed, so she is reimbursing taxpayers the cost of the ticket, $537.10.
“Both flights were billed. She’s paid the Feb. 5 flight back,” Love spokesman Richard Piatt said in a brief phone call.
Her latest reimbursement follows Love’s decision in September to pay back taxpayers more than $1,000 for weekend flights she took to attend the White House Correspondents’ Association’s annual dinner last spring.
The $1,000 reimbursement came in response to a story in The Hill questioning whether she had charged taxpayers for flights to attend the glitzy dinner and other parties in D.C. that weekend.
