The Attorney General's Office began investigating Banta shortly after The Republic in November 2015 found he routinely flew first class, stayed in a nearly $600-a-night hotel room and bought alcohol for himself and guests at restaurants while running the transit system.
The Republic obtained Valley Metro documents through the state's Public Records Law and found that Banta on several occasions was reimbursed for dinners up to $470 in which the people he claimed to have entertained did not attend.
His expense and credit-card records show he flew first class on eight of the 11 trips he took while representing Valley Metro on business and at conferences in places such as Munich, Germany, and Milan, Italy.
(I liked Steve, a lot. Too bad he enjoyed the pork a little to much in a place like Arizona where they care about that sort of thing. Now if he done this in a ‘blue’ state he most likely would still be running the show)
