Utah Mia Love returning $1,000 used for trip to DC for gala

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — U.S. Rep. Mia Love of Utah says she's repaying more than $1,000 in taxpayer funds she spent on a weekend trip to Washington, D.C. for a black-tie gala, though her office says the trip also included some official business. Quarterly expense reports for the U.S. House of Representatives show the Republican congresswoman flew from Salt Lake City to Washington for the celebrity-packed White House Correspondents' Association dinner on Saturday, April 25. Love returned to Utah the next day. She then submitted $1074.20 cost of the round-trip flights as an expense to be reimbursed by taxpayers. Her spokesman Rich Piatt says she conducted official business in her office while in town for the dinner that weekend but will reimburse the government to ensure there's no question about the use of taxpayer money.Read more on NewsOK.com
