Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders ’ office potentially violated state laws on purchasing, state property and government records when it purchased a $19,000 lectern for the Republican governor that’s prompted nationwide attention, an audit requested by lawmakers said Monday.
Legislative auditors referred the findings in the long-awaited audit of the lectern to local prosecutors and the attorney general, and lawmakers planned to hold a hearing Tuesday on the report. The report cited several potential legal violations, including paying for the lectern before it was delivered and the handling of records regarding the purchase.
Sanders’ office, which has dismissed questions about the lectern, called the audit’s findings “deeply flawed” and a “waste of taxpayer resources and time.”
Weird how it looks like a 1k lectern
Curves like that are always harder than simple angles. There had to be some level of skill involved. Not $17k in skill, though.
It also doesn’t match its surroundings in any way, and it just plain tasteless.
You can find this exact lectern on ebay for 1000, it’s just not painted blue
It looks like they forgot to remove the blue painter’s tape
Best I can do is $7.50. Act now, and I’ll throw in a pack of gum to seal the deal.
