Report found that some members were using their power for personal gain (Alberta Times) There are reports of corruption among public officials on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, especially in the mainland, every day. Have you ever thought that American congressmen would abuse their power for personal gain? A recent study of the U.S. House of Representatives revealed that well-dressed U.S. lawmakers also use their power to benefit themselves and their families. Three of Arizona's seven current House members were named. They are Jeff Frache, Ben Quayle and Ed Pastor. The report states that Rep. Frache was reimbursed nearly $20,000 for travel, meals and other expenses. Congressman Quayle paid $250 for facility rental and personnel services for his father's company. The most outrageous thing about Ed Pastor is that from 2008 to 2010, when his wife and nephew were working at Canoplacos, Pastor paid US$1.8 million in benefits to the company. The report also states that Pastor provided financial assistance for his daughter to obtain a job at South Mountain Community College. It said Pastor allocated $1 million to South Mountain College's ACE program from 2008 to 2009 and secured more than $1 million in federal funds for it, four months after his daughter was offered a position at South Mountain College. As it happens, Miss Pastor's salary is inexplicably high. The three congressmen declined to comment on the report.
