In particular, Leahy focused on the serious questions that remain about Gruber’s billing practices. “Our listeners were filled with mixed emotions,” WVMT’s Papillo told Breitbart News. “Happy that single-payer is not going forward but concerned about how much time was spent on this while our property taxes continue to rise, and pissed that we spent millions on it.” “We still want to know where the money went and for what, with Mr. Gruber,” Papillo said. “This early gift in no way gives Gruber a pass from producing invoices, cancelled checks or emails. It’s going to be a very interesting start to the new year!”...
