Congressional trip scrutiny affecting travel

July 30th, 2005  |  Published in Broadcast, Fed Data

Caught this on the radio yesterday: Marketplace and American Radio Works went back and looked at Congressional travel records and found that all the reporting done on the freebies has had an affect: Congress is sticking around Washington more, and taking fewer handout trips. The analysis was done by American RadioWorks with The Center for Public Integrity and the Medill News Service. You can search their data here.
