That works out to roughly 45 K each, less benefits about a gross salary of $ 30 K for only 1 year...
Not only did he take the god ole' 74' but he took 2 C-17's and marine one with him. Why he couldn't take the 757 I dont know.

Yeah she was actually flying a G5 back and forth to CA. since she is on the short list for president in her position, she has to have secret service protection. She claimed with the SS and and her staff, the G5 wasn't big enough! SO she petition'd to get use of the 75' Thats disgusting!
