Braun’s total is under $30,000 for the 12 month period from Q3 2025 through Q2 2026. Meanwhile, it’s already been documented he ran $24,000 in helicopter costs from March 13 2025 through August 1 2025.
Are we supposed to believe he stopped traveling and using the helicopter, or are we just going to agree that it’s acceptable to claim every flight from Jasper to Indianapolis is a training flight so it’s no big deal for taxpayers to pay for it?
https://www.ibj.com/articles/braun-flew-to-from-jasper-home-11-times-over-6-months
It is interesting the costs associated with his commute from Jasper are missing in his travel expenses. Must not count since those costs are not “travel” where Braun is concerned.
The state should adopt a single, universal travel expense form to be used by all state employees who travel (whether in-state or out of state). Furthermore, the completed forms should be immediately a matter of public record, so taxpayers can judge for themselves whether the travel and the expenses are reasonable and justifiable. The goal is completed and timely transparency.
