Charles Rangel has been a Congressman for 38 years and it sounds like he is building his monument to himself. Last year we paid $1,900,000 to start work on the Charles B. Rangel Center for Public Service at CCNY. Now he is soliciting funds for the center from businessmen who appear before his committee. He wants to spend $64,500 of our money for his official portrait. He has been able to secure below market rents for four apartments in the building in which he lives. And, being of the old school he leases a Cadillac for which we pay the tab. You would think with the current state of the economy the Chair of the House Ways and Means Committee would have more pressing business to attend to.
Term limits anyone?
