The Interior Secretary's $220,000 Bathroom


People who do this should be jailed, and have to pay back
the money for this waste of tax payers money ! ! !


Maybe the Pentagon's legendary $600 toilet seat was a bargain.

The personal bathroom used by the secretary of the Interior is so swanky
that its renovation cost $220,000. No detail was overlooked: It has a $3,500 sub-zero .............

The bathroom is not likely to have cost that much, but that amount was stated as the bill to mask the true destination of the funds. These are your tax dollars at work.

For that kind of money I was half expecting the "Executive Bathroom" from Family Guy.

When taxpayer money is not really their own money, people in power often think it's OK just to spend whatever they "feel" like it. Ridiculous.

"The renovation was done in 2007 under President George W. Bush's Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, but is only now coming to light, "

I saw a squarish pedestal sink just like the one in my master bathroom! I knew I had good taste.
