Feeding at the Trough: Sensenbrenner, Obey & Others

Bill Christofferson summarizes Wisconsin members of Congress who had their travel expenses paid for by private corporations & non-profits:

• Jim Sensenbrenner: 19 trips; 168K
• David Obey: 13 trips; 73K
• Paul Ryan: 6 trips: 25K
• Tammy Baldwin; 12 trips: 29K

Hard to see how any of this benefits Wisconsinites. Sensenbrenner's trips were paid for by many special interests, including the Hollywood Lobbyists (Sensenbrenner's committee has jurisdiction on copyright issues). Posted by James Zellmer at April 29, 2005 9:51 PM | Subscribe to this site via RSS:
