Hillary Clinton pays her own way

In response to the letter from Jim Breese (“Hillary Clinton gets a free ride on the American taxpayer’s dollar,” July 7): Yes, Air Force One is paid for by we taxpayers.

No, Clinton did not get a free ride to North Carolina.

Her campaign reimbursed the government for her portion of the flight. NPR reported on this the day of the campaign appearance.
