Not to get to far off topic, but here's waste for you. State of RI is in poor financial situation (like many states). But they find $14K to have a portrait painted of the outgoing governor and $19K to paint a portrait of the outgoing speaker of the house. Now the RI School of Design could have had any number of students paint portraits for free to very little money. $33K of waste!
