Where has your congressperson slept?
From a fascinating new study done by journalism students at Northwestern University and sponsored by American Public Media, a report on travel by members of the U.S. Congress. The study covers several years, from 2000 on, and ranks members by amount of travel, has a report on each member, and links to information about the sponsoring organization. Here's a report on one local congressperson, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who took 4 trips worth $49,000, and ranks 97th of 582 members.
