卢比奥至少23次乘政府飞机赴佛州看儿子比赛：《华盛顿邮报》估飞行成本逾120万美元
《华盛顿邮报》11月11日发表调查报道：美国国务卿卢比奥自去年上任以来，至少23次乘政府飞机前往佛罗里达州 Gainesville，其中15次被国务院定性为纯私人行程；他至少到场观看了10场佛罗里达大学 Gators 橄榄球队的比赛，今年秋季至少5场。他的儿子 Anthony 是该队的大四替补跑卫，卢比奥本人也是佛罗里达大学校友。
该报按国防部公布的飞行小时费率估算，这些行程的飞行成本超过120万美元，其中纯私人行程约77万美元，公私混合行程约44万美元。按规定，国务卿出于安全原因不得乘商业航班，私人行程须按相当于经济舱的票价向政府偿还；卢比奥与国务院都拒绝透露他已经偿还的金额。国务院助理国务卿 Dylan Johnson 表示，卢比奥乘军用飞机是为了保证行动与政府运转的连续性、随时能使用安全通信，他今后仍会这样做。
政府伦理专家对《华盛顿邮报》表示，卢比奥的这些旅行符合联邦规则，但引发了如何善用公共资金的疑问。报道还提到，卢比奥任参议员时曾要求监察长审查前交通部长 Pete Buttigieg 使用政府飞机的情况，监察长最终认定 Buttigieg 的8次行程没有问题、总成本约5.9万美元。卢比奥最近一次到场是11月7日，他乘空军 C-37 抵达 Gainesville，佛罗里达队以7比23负于 Oklahoma 队，Anthony 没有上场。
Rubio Flew to Florida Games at Least 23 Times on Government Aircraft: Post Puts Flight Costs Above $1.2 Million
The Washington Post reported on November 11 that Secretary of State Marco Rubio has flown to Gainesville, Florida, aboard government aircraft at least 23 times since taking office last year, including 15 trips the State Department characterized as solely personal. He has attended at least 10 University of Florida Gators football games, including at least five this fall. His son Anthony is a senior walk-on running back for the Gators, and Rubio himself is a Florida graduate.
Using Defense Department flight-hour rates, the Post estimated the trips have cost the government more than $1.2 million, with the purely personal trips put at about $770,000 and mixed-use trips at about another $443,900. The secretary of state is barred from flying commercially for security reasons and must reimburse the government the equivalent of an economy fare for personal travel; Rubio and the State Department declined to say how much he has repaid. Assistant Secretary of State Dylan Johnson said Rubio uses military aircraft to ensure continuity of operations and government and access to secure communications at all times, and will continue to do so.
Government ethics experts told the Post that Rubio's travel complies with federal rules but raises a question about stewardship of public money. As a senator, Rubio had asked for an inspector general review of then Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg's use of government aircraft; the inspector general cleared Buttigieg, whose eight trips cost about $59,000 in total. Rubio's most recent game was on November 7, when he arrived in Gainesville aboard an Air Force C-37 and watched Florida lose 23-7 to Oklahoma; Anthony did not play.
