Clyburn spending $1,139.26 per month, ranks among biggest spenders in Congress From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, “On Your Dime“: There has been a lot of talk in recent months about how Congress should cut the budget and be a better steward of taxpayer dollars. So, I thought I would take a look through the document that shows how lawmakers spend their office budgets. My focus was narrowed to one basic question – how many members of the House spend money from their office accounts to lease automobiles, whether for use in their districts or while they are in Washington, D.C. …the

A state Senator has filed a bill giving a state health care agency more flexibility to cut its budget and close a $228 million budget deficit. Senate Majority Leader Harvey Peeler, R-Cherokee, filed a bill suspending budget rules that restrict cuts the Department of Health and Human Services may approve. Peeler’s bill would allow the agency to reduce payments to doctors and hospitals; require use of generic cancer, HIV/AIDS and mental health drugs; reduce chiropractic treatment and reduce fees to dispense prescriptions. The changes would save at least $11.5 million. DHHS has long asked lawmakers for the ability to cut
