sprucegoose: Lawmakers With Relatives On Payroll

About Me

Location: MInneapolis, Minnesota, United States

I am now a simple Grandpa who's life is made richer as each grandchild is born. My wife and I have raised five children and the 30 year love labor of raising them has begun to yield sweet fruit..... And then there are fruits of 30 years in ministry ... I am a satisfied old man full of the joy of the Lord.

Lawmakers With Relatives On Payroll

Well, well ! It seems that Republicans are not the only ones with family on their payrolls.

Of course we all know about Tom DeLay (And as House Majority Leader he should expect greater observation), but how about
Democrat Sen. Joe Lieberman-Connecticut
Republican Rep. Dave Reichert -Washington
Democrat Rep. Fortney "Pete" Stark-California
Republican Rep. Jerry Lerwis-California
Democrat Rep. Bart Stupak-Michigan
Republican Rep. Bob Ney-Ohio
Democrat Rep. Jim Costa- California
Republican Rep. Chris Cannon-Utah
Democrat Rep. Lincoln Davis-Tennessee
Republican Rep. Louie Gohmert-Texas
Democrat Rep. Tim Bishop-New York
Republican Rep. Dana Rohrabacher-California

I know, I know, there is still one more Republican than Democrats....So I guess Republicans are worse?
