Our first lady may have given us some hope and a lot of change. She has a staff of 22 at an annual cost of $2,075,200. Salaries range from $160,000 to $55,000, not including flying her hair dresser and make up artist on air force one every time. Her vacation and traveling costs are off the charts, with hers, her mother and her two children costing millions of dollars. Most previous first ladies had one staff member, with Eleanor Roosevelt and I believe Mamie Eisenhower paying out of pocket. Hilary had a staff of seven.
There may be hope that this will end next year but for taxpayers, that extravaganza change is gone.
