On Thursday Bevin released a log disclosing the purpose of his official trips using state-owned aircraft. Bevin is taking steps beyond those of previous Governor's by releasing the comprehensive list of the purpose of the official travel.
"Since the start of our administration, we have been 100 percent committed to financial integrity and to ensuring that we are good stewards of taxpayer resources," said Gov. Bevin. "This was, unfortunately, not the case under previous governors. Although it has not been required, or even asked, of previous administrations, we are very happy to release documentation showing the purpose of official travel so that taxpayers can have full confidence that state resources are supporting official travel to further economic development, business expansion, attracting tourism, and other key initiatives undertaken by our administration. Taxpayers deserve nothing less from any of their elected officials."
The log, which can be found at the link below, provides a detailed look at the purpose of each flight and lists the range of official activities that require air travel.
