You're getting pretty predictable now. You dropped references for months on this blog about Dickerson's admonisments to be nice and that he wouldn't "beat up" on his opponent--knowing all the while your lady was going to dump the 15-year-old report on the Star's desk accusing him of being a wife beater.

The amount each office gets is based on a formula, but generally it's around $1 million. There are limits on how many people you can hire (18 permanent, 4 part time) and on how much you can pay people (max is $151,000). It varies from member to member, but most offices spend the most on staff salaries, then mail, then office rent, travel, supplies, etc. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Members are expressly prohibited from using their taxpayer-financed office money for campaign activities, personal expenses, or primarily social activities. Members also can't accept support from private sources for their official duties (except for travel). However, members can do an extraordinary amount of official business that let them do campaign-like activities around election time. It's one of the advantages of being an incumbent.<BR/><BR/>Source: http://www.yourcongress.com/viewarticle.asp?article_id=39#How%20much%20do%20they%20get%20to%20spend%20on%20expensesGary R.
