How many people were on Laura Bush' staff and how much did they cost the taxpayer?

During Laura Bush's tenure as First Lady of the United States, she had a small staff that typically consisted of around 5 to 10 full-time employees. The cost to taxpayers for her staff, including salaries and expenses, was estimated to be in the range of $1 million per year. This amount is relatively modest compared to the overall budget for the White House and the First Lady's office.
