State [of Ohio] foots bill for fancy travel

According to The Columbus Dispatch: 

Despite the administration's call for "a few limited exceptions" on travel, state workers took trips to Germany, Belgium and other countries and all over the nation, from San Francisco, Santa Monica and Portland to New York, Washington and Orlando.

The trips sometimes involved stays at posh resorts or hotels, including Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort in Florida, Harrah's in Las Vegas, and the Plaza in Buenos Aires, Argentina -- sometimes at more than $300 a night.
