This article explains why so many citizens are disgusted and suspicious of elected government officials. Again, another example of believing it isn't necessary for them to follow laws and rules! And...I worked in a Congressional office and we could only assist constituents in that district. If a contact was in a different district, we were required to refer the person/issue either to the member in their own district or to one of the Senators of our state. If all the facts of this story are true, the Congresswoman should have to resign immediately. Even if she does pay all of the money back, in my opinion, she knowingly and willingly committed a crime of fraud or worse.
