Other problems with Congressional Pages

Posted on October 30, 2006

what's thatABC News reports:

A source close to former House Clerk Jeff Trandahl told ABC News that Arizona Congressman Jim Kolbe (R-Ariz.) was one of a small number of “problem members” of Congress who page program supervisors complained spent too much time socializing with pages, taking them to dinner or sporting events outside of official duties.Mark Foley was also on the list.

The source said Trandahl frequently cautioned both congressmen that “adults should hang out with adults, pages should hang out with pages,” a message Trandahl also conveyed to pages during their orientation.

RO NOTE: Through all the Foley scandal, the media and Congress seem to have forgotten about the pages. What is being done to protect them?
