ST. PAUL, Minn. – An ethics expert with the watchdog group Public Citizen, Craig Holman, said he believes that Congressman Jim Hagedorn violated House rules on office spending. “They cannot be used for personal benefit of the lawmaker, the lawmaker’s family, or any staff member of the lawmaker,” Holman said. Holman said the consequences that Hagedorn might face would depend on how directly he was involved in the decisions. He expects Hagedorn will at least be ordered to reimburse the government for any improper payments and that he could be reprimanded or censured by the full House.
