Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg can breathe a sigh of relief because nine Republicans joined over 200 Democrats on Wednesday to vote against requiring the secretary to reveal where he travels on taxpayer-funded planes.
Such a requirement was included in an amendment to legislation directing funds to the Federal Aviation Administration, the New York Post reported.
Republican Illinois Rep. Mary Miller introduced the amendment and called on the FAA’s administrator to “submit to Congress a report containing the flight records of the Secretary of Transportation for any flight on an aircraft owned by the Federal Aviation Administration” within the last three years.
