Fergus Upset Hodes, CSP Offices are Under-Budget

by: Dean Barker

Sat Jul 25, 2009 at 08:38:23 AM EDT


It was nice of Fergus Cullen to point out that the Hodes and Shea-Porter congressional offices are under-budget.

Additionally, his praise for the new Democratic congressional majority also caught my eye:

Previously, reports disclosing how members of Congress spend their personal office budgets have been available to the public only in Washington, D.C., or select libraries, and then only in thick paperbacks released months after the expenditures were made. It's enough to make one think our representatives don't want us to see how they spend their personal budgets.
Thus, when Fergus does his next investigative report on what Bass and Bradley did on our dime, it'll be a lot harder for him, because they and the Republican majority they were part of, according to Fergus, were less transparent about how they spent our money. (It's enough to make you think that Republicans don't want you to know how they spend their personal budgets.)

But I'm sure he'll get around to it.

More likely THEY don't want to know how their (0.00 / 0)
money is spent.  Accountability is fine; actually counting and accounting is a pain.
