|  Remember Charlie Rangel? Ethics and potential legal problems; four rent controlled apartments, one used for a campaign HQ; the Carribean condo; the son with the poor website design...You remember.
We can talk about how we, who contribute, would like our campaign contributions spent. My personal choices are things like office space, advertising, salaries, polling, pizza for the volunteers, phones, things like that. But personal parking tickets of the candidate? Not so much. For starters, I'm pissed that Rangel has rung up more than $2,000 in parking tickets in the past 7 years. Plus, it's escalating, since over $1,500 of those tickets were acquired in the past two years. One, for $30, is still outstanding. For what he earns....... Although, he's not the only one. The expense is listed as "automobile expense." By the way, his car is domestic - a PT Cruiser. |
