You won't find many traces of fiscal conservatism in the campaign finance report Seventh District Congressman Billy Long submitted to the Federal Election Commission Wednesday.

Long collected $99,325 during the last three months, but spent $172,099.18, including four trips to Las Vegas and nearly $10,000 for meals, as reported Saturday on the Turner Report.
