- Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg defensively declared that everyone knows that in a job such as his, he must be available 24/7.
- It turns out, however, that Mayor Pete was turning down requests for calls and zoom meetings with both Democrat and Republican lawmakers while he was home with his new little family, according to information released by government watchdog Protect the Public’s Trust.
