Could not find the Washington Post article from LINK provided.
$5.2 M paid to “More than” 300 House lawmakers for “official business in Washington”.
OK. Simply divide that $5.2M by the 303 Reps for an annual benefit of $17,275
Or… divide that $5.2M by the larger number of 441 possible Reps for an annual benefit of $11,791
Heh, Heh, Heh… No receipts required.
Sounds like the House wants to be subject to the same high ethical standards as SCOTUS.
