Taxpayers pay for rep's big screen TVs

politico.com — A leased Cadillac: $557 a month. Chinese food for 230 colleagues: $1,425. A 46-inch Sony flat-screen television: $2,805. Having taxpayers foot the bill: priceless. Members of Congress get between $1.3 million and $1.63 million per year to run their offices. Much of the money goes to staff salaries and rent for district offices. Some of it does not.
