Wanted to point you out to a few stories that you might be interested in localizing for your own congressional delegation:

• Peter Urban (formerly of the Connecticut Post and now with Gannett) wrote about Minority Leader John Boehner’s high-flying lifestyle by searching campaign filings to show that he had stayed, for example, at a swanky California hotel where rooms go for more than $500 a night: http://news.cincinnati.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/AB/20091016/NEWS0108/910170340/
• Jerry Zremski of the Buffalo News quizzed his delegation on their thoughts on how to deal with Afghanistan, a good move as Obama plans to lay out his own plans: http://www.buffalonews.com/home/story/821048.html
• Sylvia Smith of the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette has been on top of the Postal Service changes and wrote an interesting column this weekend: http://www.journalgazette.net/article/20091018/EDIT0501/310189940/1002/LOCAL
• Yours truly spent some time stalking the D.C.-area homes of Utah’s congressional members and is glad to report no restraining order is forthcoming: http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_13572102?source=rss

As always, please let me know if you have a story in which others might be interested.
