Telegraph picks up on Liquor Commission Cars
Print This Post
Nashua Telegraph reporter Joseph Cote follows up on this morning’s story on New Hampshire’s Liquor Commissioners losing their state cars, and gets some comments from Commissioner Mark Bodi.
Liquor commissioner Mark Bodi insisted his car wasn’t being driven for personal use and said a change in how the state defines non-business use is responsible for the change.
Bodi and the other commissioners, Joseph Mollica and Michael Milligan, drive their state-issued cars from home to the department’s offices in Concord or to various liquor stores around the state. A change disqualified that commute as a business-related trip use, Bodi said.
“Taxpayers should not be under the assumption that these vehicles are being used as pleasure vehicles. They are not,” he said. “The car is only used for business purposes.”

I wish my boss would cover all the expenses I incur in order to report to work everyday. I don’t care how you define business related. Get yourself to the office and pick up your business vehicle there, and bring it back at the end of the day. Damn you people are spoiled.
Oh, and yes they are “pleasure vehicles”. It IS your pleasure not to pay for any of the costs of purchasing, maintaining, insuring, fueling, registration and tolls for your ride to work everyday!!!! Never mind the fact that every cop out there will see those plates on there and let you roll on by regardless of what traffic law you are breaking. Sleaze!
