[Mikey_1962]

At least most of them are American made, (if that is a silver lining)

[Wolfie]

In my home state, the State Reps. get a taxpayer provided car, and mileage reimbursement.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I'll have to ask ole Phil Gingrey why he has one rented.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

Pimp my ride!

[BackInBlack]

What a surprise -- Charlie Rangel bought a Cadillac.

[deport]

Are these vehicles leased and based in Washington D.C or are they for they local district office locations? My guess is D.C. but don't know.

[FreeInWV]

"Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas: Lincoln Navigator, $9,081.26"

I wonder if she got the spinny hubcaps?

[Vaduz]

With gold plated bumpers and hydraulics but the fuzzy seats are the topper.

[NRA1995]

When all of Congress rides around in Mini-Coopers, I'll get rid of my Cadillac, not before!

[mathluv]

How are they at taxpayer expense?

[harpu]

Texas FReepers...did your Congress Critter make the list?

Kevin Brady, R-Texas: GMC Yukon, $7,293.33
John Carter, R-Texas: Chevrolet Tahoe, $2,527.80
Michael Conaway, R-Texas: Ford Expedition, $4,693.12
Henry Cuellar, D-Texas: vehicle not identified, $3,297.12
John Culberson, R-Texas: Chrysler Sebring, $6,735.60
Gene Green, D-Texas: Chevrolet Impala, $7,626.36
Al Green, D-Texas: GMC Yukon, $8,877.48
Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas: Lincoln Navigator, $9,081.26
Sam Johnson, R-Texas: Chevrolet Tahoe, $7,076.04
Randy Neugebauer, R-Texas: 2 Chevrolet Tahoes, $17,262.59
Solomon Ortiz, D-Texas: Chevrolet Tahoe, $8,491.56
Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas: GMC Yukon, $6,419.28

Mine [Joe Barton] didn't!

[harpu]

Each Congress Critter gets a budget amount from Congress to run his or her office. The lease car is paid for out of the office budget.

[thoughtomator]

I would have to assume the rule is that the car has to be US made (otherwise they'd all be driving Ferraris).

[mathluv]

Thanks!

[clodkicker]

South ve Tta is clean.

[neodad]

Mine (Sylvester Reyes) did. I wonder how come his Yukon was $2,400 less than All Green's Yukon?

[RightField]

Randy (Duke) Cunningham, R-Calif.: Ford SUV, $7,652.40

Why am I not surprised?

My CA Congressman, Issa, did not make the list ... whew

[gas0linealley]

I noticed an Infiniti, and a BMW

[mewzilla]

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except CONGRESS.

Mark Twain

[palmer]

I wonder how come his Yukon was $2,400 less

I could dream up a deal where I pay more for a taxpayer-funded car and then pay less for another car out of my own funds. I say fire every single one of them.
