WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 El senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley y el senador John Kennedy (R-LA) anunciaron hoy la introducci\u00f3n de la Vuela con inteligencia Act\u00faa<\/i>, legislaci\u00f3n bipartidista para evitar que el dinero de los contribuyentes se desperdicie en vuelos de primera clase.<\/p>\n

La legislaci\u00f3n prohibir\u00eda a todos los empleados del poder ejecutivo federal, incluidos los secretarios del gabinete y otros servidores p\u00fablicos de alto rango, utilizar el dinero de los contribuyentes para comprar boletos de avi\u00f3n en primera clase o en clase ejecutiva, excepto en circunstancias excepcionales.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cDespu\u00e9s de una noticia tras otra sobre el abuso del sistema actual, est\u00e1 claro que el Congreso debe actuar para garantizar que ni un d\u00f3lar m\u00e1s del dinero de los contribuyentes se gaste en vuelos de lujo\u201d. dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cLos servidores p\u00fablicos deber\u00edan utilizar sus puestos para servir al p\u00fablico, no vivir una buena vida con el dinero p\u00fablico\u201d.<\/p>\n

"Los trabajadores del gobierno no deber\u00edan volar en primera clase con el dinero del p\u00fablico", dijo Kennedy.<\/b> \u201cA veces hay que crear sentido com\u00fan a trav\u00e9s de la legislaci\u00f3n. Este proyecto de ley pondr\u00e1 fin a esta pr\u00e1ctica fr\u00edvola y ahorrar\u00e1 dinero a los contribuyentes\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

El Vuela con inteligencia Act\u00faa<\/i> exige que todos los empleados del poder ejecutivo federal vuelen en clase turista, a nivel nacional e internacional, excepto en circunstancias excepcionales, por ejemplo, si no se pueden encontrar opciones de vuelo alternativas. Todas las excepciones deben ser aprobadas mediante una exenci\u00f3n que se presenta p\u00fablicamente a m\u00e1s tardar 90 d\u00edas despu\u00e9s del viaje, y no se permitir\u00e1n exenciones generales.<\/p>\n

La semana pasada, el Washington Post reportado<\/a> que el inspector general de la Agencia de Protecci\u00f3n Ambiental (EPA) recomend\u00f3 que la agencia considere tratar de recuperar $124,000 en gastos de viaje excesivos del ex administrador de la EPA, Scott Pruitt. Esa cantidad represent\u00f3 los gastos adicionales que Pruitt impuso a los contribuyentes por su insistencia en volar \u00e9l y su equipo de seguridad en alojamientos de primera clase y clase ejecutiva, todo en solo un per\u00edodo de 10 meses, del 1 de marzo al 31 de diciembre de 2017. Muchos de esos vuelos inclu\u00edan viajes hacia y desde su ciudad natal de Tulsa, Oklahoma.<\/p>\n
