"Dollar Bill" Abuses Taxpayer Money for Appeal to Colleagues
Ah, Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA).
From Roll Call:
You might think that a guy who’s still the subject of a federal bribery investigation would be more careful than to use taxpayer resources to raise campaign money. But nope, not Jefferson. And heck, he still hasn’t provided us with that “honorable explanation” he promised for the bizarro (and alleged) $90,000 in cash federal agents confiscated from a freezer in his Capitol Hill home.Last week, House Democrats were shocked to receive a letter from Jefferson — on his official Congressional stationery, no less — asking colleagues to donate money to help him retire his campaign debt.
“As you know,” the letter, dated Dec. 29, 2006, began, “I recently won a grueling race for re-election.” (And won resoundingly in a runoff, despite the ongoing federal probe in which two people have already pleaded guilty.) “In order to get our message out and otherwise compete, we incurred over $200,000 in debt.
“Therefore, I would deeply appreciate it if you would assist me in retiring my debt by contributing $1,000 (or whatever amount you can afford) to my campaign,” Jefferson wrote.
To use public resources to make a fundraising pitch is against House rules, of course. As an explanation, Jefferson's office said it was "a tremendous — tremendous — staff error."

Richard M. Mathews wrote on January 4, 2007 5:56 PM:So it was "staff error." Was that campaign staff, or congressional staff? If it was the latter, that is more public money being misused. And who was it that asked the congressional staff to do this? You might think the order would come from their boss.
