Bargain Furniture Purchases See Congress Largesse
Lawmakers and ex-officials have bought government office furnishings at deep discounts after a depreciation based sale. Dan Kuykendall paid 1 016.89 for items costing 2 366.39 while Ben Blackburn spent 251.95 for four electric typewriters and more. Edith Green paid 370.21 for items originally priced at 539.88. Three ex-senators inquired about buys. 53 departing members have inquiries. The GSA uses eight percent annual depreciation plus extra cuts for wear. The piece also recalls Rep. Mills’s alcohol issues and a culture of open bars in some Senate offices.
