GSA In Hot Water Again

The General Services Administration is in hot water again for another extravagant party. Lawmakers learned yesterday that GSA had spent more than a quarter-million dollars on a one-day celebration for employees. The event was back in 2010, the same year GSA had that lavish Las Vegas conference that stirred up outrage. This smaller event included an awards ceremony at the Crystal Gateway Marriott and a more exclusive commissioner's reception at the Key Bridge Marriott. The agency paid for a drum-band exercise and it gave out drumsticks to attendees. GSA's new leadership said it does not tolerate this type of spending.
