costly travel

Is it true that the City paid $984 for a round-trip ticket to Tallahasse last March for Youngs? and $734 for a ticket to Tally for Garcia? I can fly to Tally for $358 today, less than HALF of Garcia's ticket and a little more than a third of Youngs ticket. Was there some kind of emergency? Or was it just another case of the city officials wasting MORE of our tax dollars?
