GSA Travel Expenses

The General Services Administration has spent $24,000 in the last year on commuting costs for one employee. He works for GSA's Kansas City office, but lives in Hawaii. CNN reported, in a one-year period, GSA spent $750,000 on long distance commuting for nearly 100 employees. The employees mostly telework, but must travel frequently to their assigned offices. In the case of the Hawaii employee, the Kansas City regional administrator said the employee was saving the government money overall. But a GSA spokesman told CNN the agency couldn't defend that amount of travel spending.
