Wasted Tax Dollars

We were at a very nice hotel for the last couple of days for a symposium. It's one of those hotels that draws a lot of business by renting out ballrooms, meeting rooms, conference rooms, etc.

I noticed that one of the large meeting rooms was being used by a government agency. They were together for "grant reading" to decide which grants to choose to fund.

WHY?

There's a very nice building in Madison. It's called the state capitol. It has lots of rooms. There's also the office building in Madison set aside for this agency. But no, they had to get people together elsewhere and pay for the rooms.

Why do I suspect that somebody wanted to make a vacation out of their duty to sort through grant proposals?
