Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Days before filing for re-election, Rep. John Yarmuth is giving away money. His own.
In fact, everything the government paid the 3rd District Democrat for last year's work is going to go to 38 Louisville-area community groups, he said yesterday. That comes to a bit more than $120,000 in after-tax income.
"It's something I promised to do during the (2006) campaign," Yarmuth said in an interview. "And I truly value the notion of public service. I'm in the fortunate enough position that I don't need the salary."
