I'll have to ask ole Phil Gingrey why he has one rented.
Pimp my ride!
What a surprise -- Charlie Rangel bought a Cadillac.
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.
"Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas: Lincoln Navigator, $9,081.26"
I wonder if she got the spinny hubcaps?
With gold plated bumpers and hydraulics but the fuzzy seats are the topper.
When all of Congress rides around in Mini-Coopers, I'll get rid of my Cadillac, not before!
How are they at taxpayer expense?

Mine [Joe Barton] didn't!
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.
I would have to assume the rule is that the car has to be US made (otherwise they'd all be driving Ferraris).
Thanks!
South ve Tta is clean.
Mine (Sylvester Reyes) did. I wonder how come his Yukon was $2,400 less than All Green's Yukon?
Why am I not surprised?
My CA Congressman, Issa, did not make the list ... whew
I noticed an Infiniti, and a BMW
Mark Twain
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.
