Rangel's further abuses exposed
The New York Post reports today that House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel's (D-NY) violation of Congressional rules (and tax law) continues. Seems he's been using the Congressional parking lot as a free storage facility for his no longer registered silver Mercedes Benz.
The car is covered with a protective tarp and has no license plates. Rangel's registration on the vehicle expired in 2004, state records show.House rules forbid use of the garage for long-term storage more than 45 days - and congressional aides told The Post that Rangel's car has been sitting there for years.
What's his motto? Your House is my house?
