OK, Wisconsin Media, Let's Localize This Story

House of Representative members are allowed to lease cars, with all the expenses added to the taxpayers' tab, and some choose Cadillac, Lexus and Lincoln Town Car.

Don't these public servants have a smidgen of shame, or good political sense?

The New York Times has the story, too, and I see in that piece that some House members also lease cars for their key staffers, too.

Of course, let's remember that the Southeastern Wisconsin Regional Planning Commission goes the next step, buying gas-guzzling cars for the use of top staffers and even a consultant.
