Hilton room service |
Included in the expense reports of John Mannes was a receipt for room service at the Washington Hilton while attending the Federal Relations Network Legislative Conference. That's one of the Washington, DC meetings that Board of Education member Christopher Barclay also attended and stayed overnight at the Hilton.
While at the Hilton Mr. Mannes ordered room service for 2: strip steak and short ribs. Cost of that meal for 2 was $91.63.
But, wait. It gets even better. While at the conference at the Washington Hilton, Mr. Mannes traveled 4 miles back to the Maryland/D.C. border to eat at Maggiano's in Chevy Chase for $27.32.
And you paid for it all.
This conference ran from 1/27-1/29 and didn't begin until 1 pm on the first day, apparently.
ReplyDeleteWhy was he in the hotel the night of 1/26?

he couldn't have taken the Metro to the Conference and gone home at night?
ReplyDeleteWho was the other person eating Room Service on the AmEx card? Surely Mr. Mannes didn't eat BOTH the steak and the short ribs? And aren't they supposed to put who they were eating with on the receipt....? And who approved this charge?
ReplyDeleteEspecially given there were 2 sodas...

ReplyDeleteCould it be that it was his chaperone?
