CAPITOL HILL BLUE, August 20, 1999 re: MEALS WITH CONSTITUENTS" SCAM FAVORED BY SOME CONGRESSMEN (LIKE JOHN MICA, W/ SOME 101 "CONSTITUENTS" ENTRIES!
"Andrea Wamstead knows far too well how Congress works. She worked on the Hill for nearly 20 years before leaving to get married earlier this year."
"'It's a game to a lot of members,' she says. 'Under the House rules, a Congressman doesn't have an expense account, per se. But he can be reimbursed for constituent expenses, so he simply tabs his regular meals as 'meals with constituents' and gets his office budget to pay for them. The game is all about how to get around the rules.'"
