Apologies, I should've been posting this since it started but I failed due to external obligations : /

New public records have widened questions over when Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders' office planned to use Republican Party funds to reimburse the state for a $19,000 lectern, which was bought in June using a government credit card.

The Arkansas GOP paid for the lectern in September, but the words “to be reimbursed” were only added later to the original invoice, records released this week show. The undated reimbursement note adds to weeks of scrutiny over the purchase, which has dominated political talk in Arkansas.

A legislative panel is expected to vote this week on a lawmaker’s request for an audit of the lectern’s purchase.

I work in corporate AV and routinely approve the ordering of high end custom lecterns for conference rooms and events.

That's not a $19,000 lectern. I have ordered much nicer ones for a third of that.
