GSA Adjusts Lodging Rates

The General Services Administration has frozen per diem travel rates. In the next fiscal year, the standard rate will stand at $77 a day for lodging and $46 a day for meals and incidental expenses. Higher rates will still apply for expensive cities like New York or Los Angeles. Federal News Radio has learned, GSA will add 10 more non-standard cities in 2013. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said he was worried hotel rates were too low and left out some mid-range hotels. GSA said it was following White House orders to cut travel spending 30 percent next year.

Are they cutting their entertainment fee as well? Trim some more fat from their budget.
