A trio of Loudoun County, Virginia Supervisors used more than $60,000 in taxpayers funds in June to fly to Ghana in order to sign a sister-city agreement.
Loudoun County Board of Supervisors Chair Phyllis Randall , Vice Chair Koran Saines , and Supervisor Sylvia Glass used more than $60,000 in funds in June to fly to Ghana and sign a sister city agreement.
Supervisor Kristen Umstattd was the only no vote as she intends to bring forth a proposal of strict rules for the board to follow later this month. "The intent behind the item is to address the feedback that we received, to update our travel policies, but to do so in a way that is reflective of our governing structure and the way that we operate," said Saines, who insisted the outrage over the trip taken by the supervisors and their staff to Ghana was due to"misleading coverage."
