Phyllis Randall,‍ the​ board chair of​ Loudoun ‍County, along ⁢with​ two⁣ other county supervisors, ⁣Sylvia ​Glass and Koran Saines,​ traveled ⁣to Africa in⁢ June. Their ‌purpose was to sign a sister ​city agreement with‍ the mayor ⁣of​ Tema, Ghana. However,⁣ receipts and travel documents⁣ obtained⁢ by ABC ​affiliate 7News reveal‍ that the⁤ officials indulged in‌ lavish expenses and spent most of ‍their ⁤time sightseeing.

In an interview ⁢with 7News, ⁢Randall was ‍questioned‌ about​ why ‌they chose to fly business class,‍ especially ⁣in ⁢contrast to Secretary ‌of ‌Transportation Pete Buttigieg, who⁢ typically ⁢flies ​economy‌ on ⁣commercial ‍flights. Randall ⁢defended their‌ decision, stating, ‍”Pete ‍Buttigieg​ is not ‍the ‌chief elected official of ⁢the federal government. I​ am‌ the chief elected ​official ⁢of ⁤the county.”

This‌ revelation comes ​after Randall’s association ‍with ⁣a controversial ⁣Facebook ⁤group called “Loudoun Love Warriors” was‌ exposed.‌ Members of the group have been ‌accused of doxxing⁢ and ⁣threatening⁢ parents ​who spoke ‌at school board​ meetings‍ in⁤ Loudoun ⁢County. The ‍county sheriff’s office has ⁤initiated an investigation into⁢ the​ group’s activities, ‌although ⁣Randall ‍has ​condemned their behavior.

In ⁢addition to the ⁤exorbitant business ⁢class tickets⁢ costing ,300 each,⁣ taxpayers ⁣also footed the ‍bill for Saines’s⁣ $200⁢ overweight bag‌ fee ​and a room‌ upgrade for Randall, which doubled​ the cost​ of her⁢ hotel⁣ stay. Randall ⁣has ‌acknowledged that ‌the ‍county ‌should not have paid ‍for ‍the upgrade​ and⁣ has promised⁤ to reimburse⁤ the⁢ difference.
