Legistorm Gives the Skinny on Congressmen & Staff

This site, Legistorm, is fabulous for finding out what kind of travel your Congressman, Senator, and his/her staffers are taking at your (taxpayer) expense. Want to know whether your guy/gal is a big "earmarker"? You can find that out too. And, get a peek at financial disclosures, though they're much less informative than the travel expenses. And, staff salaries! That will tell you what working on the Hill will pay for, example, the Chief of Staff for the House Majority Leader. Check it out.
Of course, none of the salaries comes close to that of Michael Kaiser, CEO of the Kennedy Center... over a million a year, according to the Washington Post Magazine last week. That's the last penny KC will ever see from me! Nobody in Washington needs that much money to live the high life. I bet if KC Board told MK he'd be out if he doesn't take a 100% pay cut, he'd cave. He's the "turnaround king" for cultural institutions, and he donated a kidney to his sister. Still, half of his million could fund a lot of struggling young ballet dancers.
