[QUOTE="moreluck, post: 1308202, member: 1246"] The other members probably don’t have the depth of ethical problems that Charlie has, where money disappears into the void… Via [URL='http://nypost.com/2014/04/13/rangels-rent-excuse-is-nothing-but-a-ruse-federal-records/']NY Post:[/URL] None of New York City’s 12 other members of Congress failed to pay rent because of last year’s federal sequester — the excuse Rep. Charles Rangel gave for stiffing state taxpayers out of $87,000. “It’s not just my office. It’s any office that had to take a cut that we didn’t ask for in our budget,” the deadbeat pol whined in a TV interview following The Post exposé last Sunday. After missing three payments, Rangel, who rents office space on 125th Street from the state Office of General Services, negotiated a sweetheart deal with state officials. They gave him a six-month reprieve and slashed his rate from $7,253 a month to $4,809. Yet Rangel still hasn’t paid, owing 16 months of back rent, according to OGS statements and the most recent federal expense records. Those records also show that all of the city’s congressional representatives paid rent every month last year. “I don’t know how Charlie ran his budget,” said Rep. Peter King (R-LI). “We had the money to pay it and that’s all I can say.” [/QUOTE]
