MISPLACED PRIORITIES: House staffers get Peloton perk on taxpayer dime amid inflation crisis
According to a draft email obtained by FOX Business from the office of the Chief Administrative Officer , the "premier employee benefit," which will also be made available to all Capitol Police, will provide staffers with both Peloton All-Access and a Peloton App membership at no monthly cost.PELOTON SALES PLUMMET, SHARES SKID
A source familiar with the matter told FOX Business that the contract cost is a $10,000 upfront payment to Peloton, plus an extra $10 per month charge for each staffer or officer that utilizes the benefit. If 12,000 staffers took advantage of the benefit, it would cost taxpayers $120,000 a month. A detail shot shows the running deck of a Peloton Tread treadmill during CES 2018 at the Las Vegas Convention Center on January 11, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
In a statement to FOX Business, Peloton said it "can confirm that the US House of Representatives is extending Peloton Corporate Wellness to all House staff and Capitol police."
