Tom Price is stepping down as Health & Human Services secretary amid controversy over his recent use of chartered planes totaling more than $1 million dollars.  Price submitted his letter of resignation and Trump accepted it.  President Trump said Price was a 'fine' man but he didn't like Price's private use of planes at Taxpayer's expense.  Trump said that doesn't look well 'cosmetically' in Price doing that.  However, Price wasn't the only cabinet member using private planes at taxpayer's expense.  EPA Secretary Scott Pruitt spent $58,000 on non-commercial flights and Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuncin defended his use of a military plane in August saying he needed to make a secure phone call to the president and National Security Council.  Click on the above link to read the full story.
