These accounts are used to pay for trips like Tony's trp to Texas, make charitable contributions and other stuff like that. </p> http://laist.com/2008/02/29/mayor_tony_to_t.php#comment-1302855 http://laist.com/2008/02/29/mayor_tony_to_t.php#comment-1302855 Comments Fri, 29 Feb 2008 12:49:03 -0800 <p>There needs to be more scrutinizing of political expenses.
