Local congressman turning in unused money from office budget

 

WASHINGTON, DC (FOX19) - Ohio Third District Congressman Mike Turner, whose district includes northeast Warren County, announced Wednesday that his office saved roughly $165,000 of his 2011 Member Representational Allowance (MRA) and that he will be returning these funds to the U.S. Treasury.  

Turner’s office MRA as designated by the U.S. House of Representatives for 2011 was just over $1.4 million.  This means that Turner did not spend all of the funds allotted to his office and has returned 11.6% of his MRA.  “In a time of budget constraints in our Government, Congressional offices should also be tightening their belts. This year I will be returning roughly $165,000 to the Treasury. I am proud that my office has continued to provide top-notch services to my constituents while being a good steward of their tax dollars,” Turner said.
