Departing Congressmen are getting a ton of stuff on their way out of office. And you get to pay for the upkeep. Among the programs, buildings, and whatnot named for departing Representatives and Senators:
- Sen Ernest Hollings (D-SC): two federal programs and a wildlife refuge named for him
- Sen John Breaux (D-LA): a 15 year extension of an environmental law named for him
- Rep Richard Gephardt (D-MO): $1.5 million to archive his Congressional papers at the Missouri Historical Society.
