He filed travel claims for $7,661.33 worth of Energy Council conferences.
Two of the trips were to Canada.
"It's quite an honor to, you know, represent my state," Bingman said. "We make recommendations, talk about policy that affects our state, other states and we send statements to the federal government, work with them you know, on energy policy."
In 2009, Bingman was the vice chairman of the group of energy producing states and Canadian provinces. He went on two trips while state revenue was down and two trips while state agencies faced a 5 percent cut.
"If you're trying to be critical of why I went, I think it's obvious why we went," said Senator Charles Wyrick.
