Shall we look at each Congressman's Washington accomodations to make sure he's not paying lower-than-market-value rent to a well-heeled landlord. $600 may seem low but I can see where that might be reasonable given the potential lack of privacy that might be involved in such a house. (These don't sound like fully-furnished one or two bedroom apartments. Also, $1.1 million is not too much for assessed value, given that there are 6 tenants on a single floor.)
Well, let's just see then. Again, I have no particular bones about the group who owns the place, I just am uncomfortable with any group giving group rates to members of congress.
My concerns would be the same if they were like I said earlier, being put up in housing by IBM, UAW, NEA, AT&T, you name it.
Come to think of it, I am uncomfortable with it, even if it isn't subsidized at a discount rate. I don't like any organization with national business being the landlords of congress critters. I would be much more comfortable with a private individual without a direct connection to a large group being the person renting out to congress critters.
