Governor Huckabee Sanders addresses controversial $19k podium purchase
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders addressed the controversy of the $19,000 podium purchase by the state.
The purchase was reimbursed by the Republican Party of Arkansas in August, but the price tag still receiving criticism from some state lawmakers. The governor answered questions about the podium's features before taking a stern stance on why she has been quite on the issue. “Yeah, because i figure if you do, you would talk about nothing else than the important actions that we’re actually taking today, which, unfortunately, is not surprising, that while we are focused on things that actually impact our state and impact Arkansans the media wants to spend all of their time on things that frankly don’t.
An official legislative audit has been approved to look into the purchase. That audit was requested by Republican state Senator Jimmy Hickey Jr.
