A new report by the inspector general of the IRS found that a small group of top executives at the IRS ran up "extremely high travel expenses" in recent years, with some basically commuting to work in Washington, D.C. by plane from around the nation. "In some cases, the travel days exceeded the number of business days due to employees remaining in travel status during the weekends and holidays," the report said. An IRS source told me the most frequent travelers were four different officials inside the tax agency who "work" in Washington, at IRS headquarters, but actually live in Dallas, Minneapolis and Atlanta. In other words, they fly to and from Washington, D.C. by plane, and bill the taxpayer for that travel - and it is not a temporary situation, but has been going on for years.
