The Daily News references travel by Rep. Meeks.
Meeks – who represents some of the poorest sections of south Queens – still travels extensively even after being criticized and fined for mixing business and pleasure while spending campaign and taxpayer dollars.
In February, the Meeks campaign paid a $63,000 fine for violating campaign finance laws in the 2004 election – including using campaign cash to hire a personal trainer, who has since joined his staff.
