Unnecessary expenditures, in this case, include over $20 million in taxpayer money, which would inevitably be inefficiently used towards frivolous ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"m_653112625816899040p1\"><span class=\"m_653112625816899040s1\">These two admirable legislators are protecting our fundamental right to our own money.
