Mississippi Gov. Haley Barbour billed taxpayers $7,020 to fly himself, his wife, two aides and two security guards to Washington, where Barbour spoke before the Conservative Political Action Conference last month. The trip was part of a weekend of politicking that also included an appearance on Fox News Sunday. The Associated Press obtained flight records Thursday that listed the purpose of the trip as "meeting with congressional members."
