Even Millionaire Politician Has Problem
A serious ethics question surrounds Charles H. Percy of Illinois as wealthy businessmen pledge 30 000 toward a 100 000 goal to aid his Washington and Illinois offices. Percy already funds part of 18 of 40 staff salaries, despite federal funding of about 250 000 yearly for staff. Critics say large private donations to office holders are questionable and suggest that only millionaires can finance campaigns and office costs. The piece notes Congress raises pay and expenses but questions if lawmakers should cut costs to fit resources. The author observes not all members are millionaires yet some manage.
