Politico has a story today charting how much money U.S. senators returned to the Treasury unspent from their office budgets.
According to the story, Sens. Tom Coburn, R-Muskogee, and Jim Inhofe, R-Tulsa, were both allotted $6.25 million for 2009 and 2010 for staff salaries and other expenses.
Coburn returned just over $1 million, or 17 percent, unspent; Inhofe returned $418,278, or about 7 percent.
