    Shock Report: IRS Spends $50,000,000 (MILLION) on Employee Conferences!

    Shock Report: IRS Spends $50,000,000 (MILLION) on Employee Conferences!

    Posted on 2 June, 2013 by Amy


    WASHINGTON (AP) — A government watchdog has found that the Internal Revenue Service spent about $50 million to hold about 220 conferences for employees between 2010 and 2012, according to a House committee.

    That total included $4 million for an August 2010 conference in Anaheim, Calif., for which the agency did not negotiate lower room rates, even though that is standard government practice, according to a statement by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.

    Instead, some of the 2,600 attendees received benefits, including staying in expensive presidential suites. In addition, 15 outside speakers were paid a total of $135,000 in fees, with one paid $17,000 to talk about “leadership through art,” the House committee said.

    The report by Treasury Department’s inspector general, set to be released this week, comes as the IRS already is facing bipartisan criticism after agency officials disclosed they had targeted tea party and other conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status to extra scrutiny.
