Why are we paying for Congress’s laundry?

Earl Glynn has a fascinating look at congressional expenditures that taxpayers are paying for.

Guam’s Delegate, for example, had all of us pick up $6,090.00 in food expenditures in Guam. Madeleine Bordalio may have no vote in Congress, but she can stick it to the taxpayers nonetheless.

There’s also an $8.80 laundry bill taxpayers paid for and a whole lot more. Most interesting to me is that the Guam Delegate who has no vote and is only there because we took Guam from Spain in a war over a century ago and wanted to be kind has billed the taxpayers for more than any of the guys who can actually vote.

    That $8.80 is perfectly justified, it’s what it cost Harry Reid to get the smell of all the tourists out of his clothing.

    she’s not a member of Congress. The title is misleading. Although the content is truthfully upsetting.

    They pass the bills and we get stuck with the bills.
