Legislators Rack Up Million-Dollar Travel Bill

Posted on by

(Alaska Airlines)

In 2013, the state paid nearly a million dollars for lawmakers to fly across Alaska, across the country, and in some cases, around the world. APRNs Alexandra Gutierrez reports that legislative travel costs went up nearly 50 percent last year.

Listen Now

Over the past year, Kurt Olson has traveled out of state 10 times in his capacity as a legislator. Hes gone to Boston, Denver, DC, Kansas City, Philadelphia, Las Vegas, Atlanta, and Nashville. Hes also had to bust out his passport twice once for an Arctic policy meeting in Reykjavik, Iceland and once for an energy meeting in Banff, a Canadian resort town.

At that point in time, it was the coldest place in the world. Not just North America. It was 40 or 42 below for three days, says Olson. So, I dont think anyone would accuse me of having gone on a junket on that one.

All told, the Kenai Republican racked up a $40,000 travel bill, making him the second most-traveled person in the Legislature. Usually, hes closer to the middle of the pack.

I was not expecting to be as high as I was, but if I couldnt justify them, we wouldnt be having this conversation, Olson laughs.

When Olson and I sit down to talk about travel, hes got all his documentation out and annotated. Kansas City was for the annual Council on State Governments conference. Nashville was for the National Conference of Insurance Legislators, which is relevant to Olson because he chairs the House Labor and Commerce Committee.

Two of the other meetings were generally workers compensation. At least two were related to Obamacare, which I am involved in. And none of the meetings were offered in Alaska, says Olson.

Olson says he can point to four bills hes working on that are the direct result of his travel. One has to do with opioid use by injured workers; another, their medical bills.

Global Travel Network Denver Complaints About Trips Resolved with NotFreeTrips.com

Posted on by

Denver, Colorado (PRWEB) February 13, 2014

Global Travel Network Denver established its brand as a travel leader helping members afford luxurious vacations across the globe. Fulfilling the desires of its members is at the core of GTN Denvers mission to provide the best vacation experiences possible. As of 2014, Global Travel Network Denver has begun a new initiative to investigate the misconceptions behind becoming a member of a luxury vacation club.

Global Travel Network Denvers latest initiative comes in the form of a website where current members and prospective members can learn about luxury vacation clubs and the services they offer. The website, NotFreeTrips.com, will emphasize the details of attending the 90-minute presentations where potential members have the opportunity to learn about luxury vacation clubs while redeeming travel incentives. One common misconception outlined on the website deals with redeeming travel incentives like airline and hotel tickets. After members are approved based on necessary financial and age qualifications, they are able to redeem GTN Denvers incredible offers, but still have to pay for taxes and fees in regards to these offers. It is important to note that GTN Denver does not give out free trips. However, these fees are just a fraction of what it would normally cost to take the trips that are offered.

It is because of these common misconceptions regarding free trips that Global Travel Network Denvers search results can often turn up negative comments that include words like complaints. However, these complaints have nothing to do with the services themselves, but merely a lack of understanding on the part of prospective members about the costs and qualifications associated with redeeming travel vouchers after attending one of GTN Denvers luxury vacation club promotions. Once again, while these travel promotions are at incredibly discounted prices, they are not free trips.

Global Travel Network Denver doesnt want prospective members to feel like theyve been taken advantage of when attending a presentation; this luxury vacation provider wants them to understand the value of becoming a member of a luxury vacation club. This is why GTN Denver has taken steps to ensure an understanding from prospective members about the costs associated with becoming a member of a luxury vacation club.

Global Travel Network Denver is pleased to share the results of implementing http://notfreetrips.com/, revealing that new membership has reached an all-time high as prospective members who may have been worried about qualifications, taxes and fees can now visit the new website to learn more about the incredible deals offered at GTN Denver.

Global Travel Network Denver is at the forefront of industry development in luxury vacation clubs, ensuring the highest quality customer care for all of its members. It is excited to announce that not only have these trends led to the highest-ever levels of member satisfaction, but also it has paved the way for other vacation clubs to implement similar services and led to greater transparency and trust in the industry.

For Pikesville-raised Becky Perlow, path around world winds upward to Mount Kilimanjaro

Posted on by

For Becky Perlow, the next destination looms 19,341 feet above sea level. The goal? Reaching the top of Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro, located 3 degrees south of the equator and deemed by many the highest free-standing and "walkable" mountain in the world.

That's easier said than done, but Perlow's father, Howard, said he thinks his daughter will make it.

"When she sets a goal, she usually finds a way to complete that goal," he said.

Since 1991, Kilimanjaro-goers have been legally required to climb with a guide, so Perlow, 26, is hitting the hillside with the travel organization Adventures Within Reach and three other climbers, excluding the guides.

She will be accompanied by a CNN co-worker of nearly three years, Laura Koran, also 26.

They begin trekking the Machame Route, also known as the "Whiskey" route, on Tuesday and plan to reach the top at Uhuru Peak five days later, the ideal time to take to the mountain.

Koran's father, Donald, is the U.S. ambassador to Rwanda, which borders Tanzania, and she said she had been meaning to get out there to visit her parents.

"So Laura approached me several months ago and said, 'I want to hike Kilimanjaro,'" Perlow explained. "And I said, 'Me, too!' So I said, 'Why not? Let's do it!'"

"I've always wanted to climb Kilimanjaro but never really had anyone who wanted to do this with me," Koran said, laughing.

But Perlow is always game for adventure.
