We U.S. taxpayers help support national institutions like the Smithsonian. There was the secret sweetheart deal the institution made with Showtime Networks and now comes the revelations of expenses and the money that it doled out to it's chief officer. Both deserve some scrutiny.
"Internal Smithsonian documents offer a glimpse into what one senator called the "Dom Perignon" lifestyle of the taxpayer-supported institution's chief official, who turned in a $15,000 receipt for the replacement of French doors at his home and spent $48,000 for two chairs, a conference table and upholstery for his office suite."-Washington Post
Congress needs to start digging to see how these deals came to be.
