My colleague at Kansas Watchdog has spent a lot of time examining the congressional office spending I wrote about earlier this month, resulting in this report which outlines who spent the most for janitorial services, food, postage and a lot of other stuff.

The only Virginia congressman highlighted is Jim Moran, who was exceeded only by Brian Baird, D-Washington, in spending on “temporary office rental.”

Who spent this most on food and beverage from July to September? The winner is Madeline Bordallo, the delegate from Guam, who paid $6,090 to Outrigger Guam Resort on an August 10-12 visit. She was accompanied by five House members, including Democratic Nick Rahal of West Virginia and Republican Henry Brown of South Carolina.

And here’s a USA Today report on the explosion of federal salaries. At the same time 7.3 million private-sector jobs have folded, federal employees are enjoying security and raises.

Federal employees making salaries of $100,000 or more jumped from 14% to 19% of civil servants during the recession’s first 18 months — and that’s before overtime pay and bonuses are counted.

This is occurring in all types of government agencies, from big to small, high-tech to low-tech, the article reports.
