Certainly he should be required to payback the money!
Remember, DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Ex-EPA chief Scott Pruitt spent nearly $124,000 on 'excessive airfare,' agency says
The inspector general's report found there was not "sufficient justification to support security concerns requiring the use of first- and business-class travel."
....
Nearly half of all of Pruitt's trips during those 10 months included travel to, or had stops in, Tulsa, Oklahoma — the location of Pruitt’s personal residence. The inspector general examined 40 trips for the report, of which six were canceled but still resulted in expenses for the agency. Sixteen of the 34 trips Pruitt did take included Tulsa.
The total cost of all the trips, including those canceled, was $985,037.
...
"If the agency’s internal controls over travel aren’t strengthened, abuses may continue to occur at great cost to EPA programs and taxpayers,” said Deputy Inspector General Charles Sheehan.
The inspector general recommended that the agency's chief financial officer determine whether Pruitt or any of the other officials should pay back the excessive airfare from those 10 months, or any additional excessive expenses from the remainder of his tenure.
