Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke used a private plane owned by oil-and-gas executives to take a chartered flight from Las Vegas to get to his home in Montana over the summer, The Washington Post reports.
Zinke took the flight in June, from Las Vegas to Kalispell, Montana, using the private plane owned by executives in Wyoming-based oil-and-gas exploration firm Nielson & Associates at a cost of $12,375 to taxpayers, according to business records obtained by the paper.
Commercial flights from Las Vegas to that region of Montana run daily and cost around $300.
