(November 7, 2010) QUESTION: WHOSE PLANE IS THIS? We usually ask what it cost to fly Saunders’s airplane N777AQ—bought and paid for by taxpayers and students—to a particular destination. Perspective should change based on additional information and it does here, too. We insisted that USM obey the Mississippi Open Records law and USM provided information an honest institution would have provided with the initial Mississippi Open Records Act (MORA) request. The additional documentation changed the nature of our usual question. This is true for many flights of N777AQ. Why? It’s simple. The plane is often used by IHL and is being paid for by USM students and indirectly by USM faculty. If the IHL wanted the plane, it should pay for it. Not USM students and faculty. This report and others to follow will provide evidence for this conclusion.

(November 7, 2010) QUESTION: WHAT SHOULD A TRIP TO COLUMBUS/GOLDEN TRIANGLE COST?
AND WHY WERE IHL BOARD MEMBERS AND A SPOUSE USING N777AQ? For those of you commencing your readership of the series with this report, you may wish to read the introductory materials in the initial report What Does A Trip From Hattiesburg, MS, To Gulfport, MS Cost? That report pro-vides background information concerning the actual costs for the past 17 months of an airplane N777AQ leased by President Saunders for 60 months.
