Betsy DeVos Uses Her Own Plane For Government Travel

Education Secretary Does Not Bill The Taxpayers For Her Trips

When Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has to travel for her job, she does not use government aircraft or commercial airliners. She travels on her own private plane ... at no cost to the U.S. Taxpayers.

DeVos comes from a wealthy family. Her husband, Dick DeVos Jr. is an heir to the Amway direct-sales fortune, according to a report from MSN. Her father, Edgar Prince, was also a successful businessman.

DeVos spokeswoman Elizabeth Hill told MSN that the secretary "neither seeks, nor accepts, any reimbursement for her flights, nor for any additional official travel-related expenses, such as lodging and per diem, even though she is entitled to such reimbursement under government travel regulations.”

Hill also said DeVos plans to donate her government salary, as has President Trump. “Secretary DeVos accepted her position to serve the public and is fully committed to being a faithful steward of taxpayer dollars,” Hill said.
