January Junkets

Interior Secretary Gail Norton, a handful of Congress members, and other government big wigs are skipping the cold of Inaugural Week in Washington to enjoy sun and spa pampering in Arizona thanks to some special interests. Hanging out around the pool at the Arizona Biltmore Resort and Spa is pretty nice this time of year.


They're attending a junket put on by the oil, gas, & mining industries -- which they're supposed to regulate.

The spa's "Four Hands Massage" is priced at $260 for 50 minutes. That's the typical price the mining industry pays for about 50 acres of federal land. Might want to watch the taxpayers' pockets those four hands are reaching for. (EWG)[Photo Credit: Arizona Biltmore Resort & Spa] Posted by Hello
