I want to be a Congressman
Posted by BrianFrom the Associated Press:
U.S. Rep. Bud Cramer’s pending retirement hasn’t stopped him from spending thousands of campaign dollars on meals, gas, travel and other everyday expenses.
The Huntsville Democrat is still using campaign money to pay for a monthly Toyota car lease payment of $671.97, along with hundreds of dollars in gas and several car washes. Last month, the campaign paid $953.54 for a meal at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse in downtown Washington - one of several Ruth’s Chris outings - and $361.40 at Cafe Atlantico a few blocks away.
The campaign paid $3,108 for plane tickets and $304.73 for a Hilton hotel room in northern California’s wine country.
Must be nice.
