DeVos Not In Milwaukee, But Her Giant Yacht Is

Eyebrows were raised after a giant 40-million dollar yacht belonging to U-S Education Secretary Betsy DeVos showed up in Milwaukee. The Journal Sentinel says the 163 foot SeaQuest showed up Saturday at a Milwaukee dock on Lake Michigan, it sleeps 12 guests plus a crew of up to 12 others, and it’s registered in the Cayman Islands. Betsy and Dick DeVos are the registered owners, and a spokesperson for the Education Department says somebody else must be using the yacht because the secretary has no plans to visit Milwaukee. Yacht tracking websites indicate that the DeVos SeaQuest spent last week at Harbor Springs in the area of Traverse City, Michigan while DeVos was in Nebraska, among other places, on a Midwest tour called “Rethink School.”
