5 thoughts on “5-star stays and fine dining: Interest groups foot bill for congressional travel

  1. Interesting, if this was anyone else but a law maker this behavior would be illegal. Time to crack down on the people who makes the laws that apply to everyone else to be inclusive of themselves. Of course, this is why people think politicians in general are a “joke”.

  2. So let’s sum up: Indiana’s Democrats in Congress didn’t take privately paid trips. Most of Indiana’s Republicans in Congress did.

    Kudos to Shreve and Messmer (Republicans) as well as Mrvan and Carson (Democrats) for not engaging in this ethically dubious behavior.

    1. Shreve has only been in office six months. I do wonder what his predecessor Greg Pence did …

  3. This is why our democracy is crumbling. People like Jim Baird living large on corporate money then sending out emails telling us all the wonderous things he is doing to make American great again by following his dear leaders graft filled administration. Meanwhile the MEGA crowd who never get such trips or luxuries keep voting for them. There will always be corrupt politician but its those who continue to vote for them that are the real problem.
