Star-Tribune reported that Gearge
Puzak, a member of the city’s Park
and Reercation Board, had
requested reimbursement for offi-
cial travel at 29-cents a mile
despite the fact thai he travels by

said she has billed the state for

She said she always requests a
per-mile rate that covers the cost
of the bananas and yogurt she cats
for “fuel,” plus a penny-a-mile for
bicycle depreciation.
