Records detail Brown's flights on state plane
In which it is discovered that California Attorney General Jerry "Governor Moonbeam" Brown used a state-owned aircraft on at least fifteen occasions in the past three years, which averages out to five per year or once every 75 days or so. At least two of the trips were to cavort with lobbyists and donors.
The Caliphornia attorney general's office owns two planes and a heli that it claims are used for law enforcement purposes and only when less expensive than flying commercial.
Governor Moonbeam has bragged up his elimination of the governor's plane when he held that office back in the days when Ted Kennedy was not only still alive but could see his feet but the attorney general's fleet is different.
Apparently it costs less to fly from Sacramento to Pebble Beach on a government plane than it does to fly commercial or drive.
