Travel-related expenses by the Arizona House decreased sharply in 2016, after the Arizona Capitol Times exposed then-House Speaker David Gowan and some of his close allies for leading an unprecedented increase in the chamber’s travel budget the previous year.
But the House’s total travel spending for 2016, Gowan’s final year as speaker, was still far above average.
The chamber spent more than $71,000 on travel in 2016, according to documents provided to members of the House Administration Committee.
