WHO: House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
WHAT: Pelosi recently moved her office into the new “green” San Francisco federal building, explaining she needed more space.
WHY IT’S AN OUTRAGE: The move quadrupled her rent to $18,736 a month, making hers the most expensive congressional district office in America and nearly twice as expensive as any other member’s. District office rent comes out of members’ “representational allowances,” which can be used, for example, to hold town hall meetings, something Democrats are skimping on at the moment.
WHERE TO VENT: Call Speaker Pelosi — either at her fancy new San Francisco office, at 415-556-4862, or via the Capitol Hill switchboard, 202-225-3121.
