#US *Lawmakers* #expensed millions in 2023

>300 #House lawmakers were reimbursed ≥$5.2M for #food & #lodging while on *official business* in Washington last year under a new, #TaxpayerFunded prgm that doesn’t require receipts.

The prgm, which kicked off last yr after a #Republican-led House panel passed it, was intended to make it easier for lawmakers to maintain separate homes in DC & their home districts.
