Foxx's expense totals for 2009

As part of Speaker Pelosi's attempts to make government more transparent, we're starting to see more and more data about what our elected representatives are doing with our money. The Sunlight Foundation, for example, just published a new database of what each member of the house spent in 2009 on expenses.

Most people don't realize that each house member, each committee, each office has an expenses budget every year. House members, for example, spend about $1 million a year while Senators spend closer to $3 million. What's most interesting about this info, is once you get past the totals you start to see how much waste there is in congress itself -- and especially from the people who spend all their camera time yelling the loudest about wasteful spending and inefficiencies, blah blah blah.

Well I give you Crazy Old Ginny Foxx's totals for 2009:

(I'll try to post the specifics but I need to find a host for a PDF first.)
