The Inbox
It feels like most of Suits by Suits' home city of Washington has gone on vacation this week. Perhaps, then, it's no coincidence that news about employee travel expenses has filled the Inbox.
We start this trip with news of a four-star Army general, William "Kip" Ward -- who until recently commanded the Army's operations in Africa -- facing demotion for unauthorized and extravagant travel. Maybe he should have followed Hannibal's lead and gone by elephant -- or George Washington's example of travel by rowboat.
At the same time, some Republican lawmakers are questioning Attorney General Eric Holder's use of FBI planes for what they claim is personal and inapproriate travel.
Also, here's an interesting article in the New York Times, noting that top candidates for some jobs are negotiating for exemptions from company travel policies as part of their employment agreements. No Motel 6 for these folks.
