McHugh Gilman Watch Purses Empty As Office Costs Rise
Rep. Benjamin A. Gilman of Middletown and Rep. Matthew F. McHugh of Ithaca face depleted office funds six months into the session. Both reaped a pay rise of about 10 million dollars for allowances, yet struggle with stationery and district-travel costs. McHugh has $500 left in his stationery allotment and has taken 15 of 18 trips. Gilman has exhausted his travel and stationery budgets, planning to spend personal funds on airfare. Both defend the increase to cover district representation while denying personal gains.
