Thanks Mike. It's the people's tax money which was used to settle claims. I'd like to see who they paid in behalf of.

Last week the Washington Post reported that Congress s Office of Compliance paid out $17 million for 264 settlements with federal employees over 20 years for various violations, including sexual harassment.
