Lawmakers billed taxpayers for limousine services

(The Center Square) — A number of U.S. representatives like to be driven in style, billing taxpayers tens of thousands of dollars for limo service from their office accounts, an investigation by The Center Square found. Six U.S. representatives charged taxpayers nearly $30,000 to hire chauffeured limousines in the latest twelve months for which figures are available. Since January 2019, U.S. representatives spent more than $160,000 out of their office accounts with companies that had the word limo or limousine in their name, according to figures come from the U.S. House’s quarterly disbursement reports. U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters, a California Democrat, spent the most on limo services, according to the data. She charged taxpayers $25,950 for transportation from Limousine House LLC from July 1, 2024, to June 30, according to House disbursement reports. A spokesperson did not immediately return requests for comment. Since 2019, Waters spent $111,000 on limo services. U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter
