Matt Blunt is fond of foreign travel. And the "private" Hawthorn Foundation usually picks up his tab, most recently for his trips to Italy and Mexico.
Now comes word that the "private" foundation is about to get a shot of "public" money.
The Blunt Administration is about to send $25,000 of public money to the foundation through a no-bid "promotion" contract.
There must be a really nice junket on the horizon.
