Searching Congressional trips
How does a trip to the Galapagos Islands sound to you? The group of islands off the coast of Ecuador is one of the world’s unique ecosystems, famous for its massive tortoises and the place where Charles Darwin formulated his theory of evolution.
Maybe that’s why it was hard to pass up for U.S. Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Cheyenne. The TV show Inside Edition featured the trip by Lucas and four other congressional members in one of its segments this week.
My colleague Chris Casteel of The Oklahoman’s Washington bureau blogs about the trip and Lucas’ response to the Inside Edition story.
But you can also check out where other members of Congress — and their staffers — travel to at the Web site of LegiStorm. The Center for Responsive Politics’ Open Secrets site also includes information on Congressional travel.
