How the hell did that thing cost $19k? It looks like something you'd get from a 1970s Ikea.

Ohh right... Nepotism and/or money laundering!

I’d be looking into what company manufactures that $19,000 lectern and then research who owns that company. There is a reason someone shells out that much money on a typically cheap item.

Edit: Here is a link to the profile of the CEO of Beckett Events (company that sold the $19,000 podium). https://www.linkedin.com/in/virginia-beckett-3a940423

What if it was a really fancy lectern?

They could've at least tried to hide the blatant money laundering with a nicer looking lectern. That thing looks straight out of a church basement from the 1970s.

Its an audit, they know the law was violated. Theyre just not prosecutors.

Turns out financial fraud, really is a crime.

Also, that lectern is ugly as shit.

That lectern isn't even wide enough to effectively hide an awkward boner from the whole room. Not the edges anyway. Poor design

Weird how it looks like a 1k lectern

"Deeply flawed" and "a waste of taxpayer resources and time" seems to describe her governorship better.

My office, which knows Sanders' office is covering up a different purchase, called the audit's findings "encouraging" and "justice for taxpayers and voters"

Did it come with a Civic?

Let me guess ... they bought it off their son?

Using MY money to Break Laws is MUCH more Preferable then having a Black Man run the state!
