The thing I like about this is that it doesn't make our reps comfortable in DC. DC is where they work. It shouldn't be where they live. Tim Walberg understands that and that's part of the reason why he never got corrupted as a state rep or as a congressman. He'd rather be home with his family.

They just haven't rounded up any lobby money yet...Give em time...

State-run media runs the same story every two years.

Different names, same tripe.

So what? I sleep in my office all the time and no one’s making me out to be a hero. Granted, it's entirely during work hours, but still...

"It's convenient. I don't face the traffic,"

I thought DC was a socialist paradise with stellar mass transit.

Fox News this am featured Sean Duffy, new rep from WI. Sean has a wife and 6 beautiful kids at home. His office is probably the most privacy he’s ever had!

” DC is where they work. It shouldn’t be where they live. “

That has a nice ring to it!

Dormitories work on College campuses, at least they did when they had rules, like female visiting hours, keep the door open during female visiting hours, that sort of thing (speaking as an UG from 1980 thru 1985 in Missouri). Why couldn’t dormitories worl for Congress? Seems to me they assign them an office, why not a dorm roon/efficiency/ kitchenette room as well. I know, I know, they’d have to be built, but such a project could be accomplished within rounding error of some of the other appropriations that have been made.

Tim is also cosponsoring legislation that forces less time in DC and more time in their district offices. (as much as 20 days per month)

I don't sleep at home, either.

The commute to work is too long.

I've got a little trailer near the office...;-)

Fundraising is tiring.

I can't speak for the rest of them but we know Tim Walberg means it.

This is off on a little tangent from the original post,but it bugs me that new members of Congress are called “freshmen”,as if they are naive kids,low on the social status rungs, just entering high school or college,instead of being fully empowered and respected elected representatives.
