Rep. Mark Meadows announced the official opening of 18 offices throughout the 11th Congressional District.
“Constituent service is my top priority,” said Meadows. “By holding office hours in all 17 counties and the Qualla Boundary in Cherokee, my staff and I will be able to better serve Western North Carolinians.

Strikes me as being an excessive expense for one congressman! Let”s be real, most of the concerns/complaints from his constituents could be handled via phone/email or the internet.
For the cost of renting/furnishing/staffing 18 offices Mr. Meadows could have easily had one or two traveling staffers meet in the outlying areas as needed.
