Nasty.

They can stay till they get sent up. If cash gets dropped off at your office, you have to put it somewhere.

For once, maybe nobody was wearing a wire ...

It’s obvious the CBC members are living in a lavish manner and it’s racist that whitey is making them look bad while they fleece their constituents for what they feel is a rightly deserved perk.

This is the reality of communism in a nutshell

[Beach333]

It’s obvious that the CBC is trying to get those thrifty ones to seek a raise.

Sounds like the Democrats want to assassinate someone and are being frustrated by Capitol security.

[gr8eman]

Exactly! They can’t espouse their racism so they have to nitpick while the hood is a war zone. Pathetic!

Setting aside the source of the complaint, it’s not completely w/o merit. It does sound like there is some mooching going on here. The other side of the coin is that DC is one of the most expensive places to live in the lower 48. Perhaps, as another suggested above, a low cost hostel type arrangement with studio apartments could be made available to them. They would have to pay rent of course but it would not be of the sort that would leave them in financial extremis. And if they want more than a 1 room apartment with a murphy bed, kitchenette and basic cable TV/internet then they can go apartment hunting like everybody else.

An easy solution is to build economic housing for congress critters on the grounds.
