"Arkansas Governor's $19,000 Lectern Purchase Under Scrutiny in Audit Report"
The Arkansas Legislative Audit released a report revealing that Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders may have violated state law by using tax money to purchase a $19,000 lectern, including a pricey Falcon podium, with public funds. The report found potential non-compliance with state law and recommended better adherence to regulations in the future. Sanders defended the purchase, stating that she is allowed to use transition funds for such expenses, but the audit highlighted several discrepancies, including lack of proper documentation and potential legal violations. The report has been forwarded to prosecutors for review, prompting calls for swift justice from the Democratic Party of Arkansas.
