Lemos changed her duty station — where she’s officially based — to San Diego, rather than Washington, according to a report in The Hill. The agency said this change was more aligned with where she is working remotely as the agency continues to telework.
The change was confirmed by agency spokesperson Hillary Cohen, who said at the time board member travel is “in alignment with Federal Travel Regulations and is approved as needed to meet the mission of the CSB.”
Lemos’s travel had previously sparked concerns by some advocates, with the group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER) reporting last year that her travel cost taxpayers $33,000.
