You're Paying for Washington's Free Ride

Senators Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and Max Baucus (D-MT) want the Treasury Department to explain why their taking so much out of the Treasury to pay for car service. The Senators are the two senior members of the Senate Finance Committee. They fired off a letter questioning the expense involved in getting Treasury Secretary John Snow to and from work. As a cabinet secretary, he's entitled to a car and driver. A lot of other top people at Treasury apparently get the same perk. It's costing taxpayers $2 million a year to drive Secretary Snow and his helpers around. (TaxAnalysts.com)
