Summary
Secretaries travel, spouses pay — and the state’s books got messy. Diego Morales’ wife, Sidonia Nicolae, racked up travel expenses covered by state funds, sparking outrage after an anonymous tip exposed reimbursements for non-state employees — paid initially by the Chief Legal Counsel, then repaid just one day after a key Republican candidate entered the race. Morales, already under fire for lavish travel that topped state spending in 2025, now faces mounting GOP backlash as lawmakers demand transparency — and questions linger over why these expenses were approved, then deemed improper, with NASS offering vague support for spouses’ involvement.
