WASHINGTON -- Rep. Gregory Meeks lives pretty large for someone without any assets -- at least that's what he claims on his latest financial disclosure.
For the third year in a row, Meeks (D-Queens) reported no assets -- no retirement account, no investments, no savings -- on his annual financial disclosure to Congress.
That's despite living in a posh house for which he spent $830,000 in 2006. At the time, it was valued at more than $1.2 million.
Meeks, who is being probed by the feds over missing charity money and other possible wrongdoing, lives off his $174,000 congressional salary and his wife's salary as a senior policy associate at the New York Academy of Medicine.
Meeks' office did not immediately return calls inquiring about his latest financial disclosure.
His beggarly financial reports have helped rank him among the poorest members of Congress, though he's known to frequent pricey restaurants in New York and DC.

This is a problem for his constituents, I guess.
That’s a joke.
Aha,,,a Charlie Rangel protege perhaps?
Shouldn’t the democrats be questioning how he got on the ballot?
He’ll be reelected with 101% of the vote. :)
“He’ll be reelected with 101% of the vote. :)”
