Steve Pearce: You owe us a refund
After promising you are "working hard in Washington to cut spending" and saying, "Every dollar saved here is one fewer that a taxpayer in New Mexico has to pay," you spent almost $20,000 of our taxpayer dollars on a single plane ticket for a Middle East junket.
Congressman, cut taxpayers a check and give us a refund for your wasteful spending.
Why is this important?
After denouncing wasteful government spending, Tea Party Congressman Steve Pearce (R-NM) spent $19,525 on a single plane ticket for a junket to the Middle East.
Pearce is one of the richest members of Congress and represents some of the poorest constituents. He owes us a refund for his Egyptian junket.
