Podium Pandemonium (It’s a Lectern)
Not sure how you blame an "accounting error" for a purchase that was discussed for months and required a credit-limit increase\
I mean, Henning acknowledged that there was a purchase, which we all already knew. But then she claimed that an “accounting error” is what caused the lectern to be purchased with state funds because, according to Henning, it was meant to be paid for by the Arkansas Republican Party with leftover inaugural funds.
Since that time, multiple people have asked Henning to explain just what kind of “accounting error” leads to a $19,000+ purchase on a state credit card that does not get reimbursed for over three months, until an incredibly handsome blogger started poking around and asking questions. Despite the fact that no one has seen the alleged lectern, people are getting louder about questioning the purchase in general, and some explanation of the alleged “accounting error” might actually make the scandal die down, Henning has (predictably) offered absolutely zero additional information about the lectern or the error.

Getting a jellyfish like Joseph Wood to cut an ARGOP check to the state after the fact does not change the definition of “accounting error” or make the purchase any less questionable.

Related to the above, as well as the Governor’s general disdain for transparency, we’ve launched a GoFundMe if you would like to help underwrite the cost of multiple AFOIA lawsuits against the state based on the Governor’s attempts to hide records.
I know it says “podium” in these emails. To the extent it even exists, what they have described is a lectern. I will not bend on this.↩
Though, because nothing in this whole thing is clean or above board, it’s worth noting that the amount the ARGOP paid ($19,065.76) isn’t even the right amount for the lectern plus credit-card fees ($19,029.25). But at least it’s over and not under, I guess.↩
