We at TapIt love Nancy Pelosi. First woman speaker of the house, more left leaning than the Berkeley Student Council and tough as nails. But we were disappointed to hear today that she spent nearly $3000 on bottled water over the last quarter. Your tax dollars!Pelosi's offices defended the charges, saying the Speaker's office holds more ceremonial events with visiting dignitaries than other congressional offices. My question would be, what's wrong with D.C. tap water served in beautiful glass pitchers? I mean, seriously, is there anything cheaper looking than a plastic water bottle?
This is shocking for a someone who represents 4/5ths of the City and County of San Francisco, one of the nations most progressive areas when it comes to the local food and water movement.
We encourage you to email Nancy and let her know what you think of this fiscal outlay. If you're one of her constituents (8th District) you can use her email form. If not, email her as Speaker of the House at AmericanVoices@mail.house.gov
