| Description | Gov. Dirk Kempthorne has bounced two checks totaling $111 dollars to his hairdresser. In October, he bounced a check for $76. Then last week, he bounced another worth $35. Both were made out to Chic Rementeria, owner of Chic's Place in Boise.
Kempthorne earns a $98,500 salary and gets a $54,000 annual housing allowance because the state currently has no governor's mansion for his family to live in. He said the oversight occurred because he and his wife, Patricia, are busy and didn't discuss personal money matters.
Kempthorne also said he's a little short on cash after two surgeries on his back in recent months that have drained his finances.
"I probably know more about the state budget than I do my own personal budget," he said. "But that's probably not fair to Patricia. Even though she does the books, I don't put this off on her. I have to take ownership of it and rectify it." |
