Politicians - and their spending money
Somehow, I doubt they are frugal...
Sally Kestin reports for Orlando's Sun Sentinel:
"Each of the nation's 535 senators and representatives receives an annual allowance for staff salaries, constituent mailings and office expenses, based in part on the distance between the lawmaker's district and Washington.
Florida's two senators get more than $4 million apiece while the state's 25 members of the U.S. House of Representatives receive about $1.5 million each. The allowance does not include the lawmaker's salary of $174,000."
