* $1,540 to rent 14 extension cords at $5 each per day for three weeks at the Wyndham Peaks Resort and Golden Door Spa in Telluride, Colo;

I can tell you this -- in private industry, anyone who authorized the rental of these extension cords would be fired. Presumably, Telluride has a hardware store where all 14 could have been bought for a total of about $60 and then kept for future conventions.
