[edit] Legislators bill state $1.3 million for travel

"State Sen. Tom Buford was one of at least seven legislators who got word recently of the state's $456 million revenue shortfall while attending a convention of lawmakers in Duck Key, Fla., at taxpayers' expense.

The convention, which dealt with insurance issues, was the 30th in less than three years for Buford, a Nicholasville Republican who is chairman of the Senate Banking and Insurance Committee. State records show that the first 29 trips have cost taxpayers $43,416 in salary and expenses, more than any other legislator."
