Billy Long spends $172K during quarter, only takes in $99K

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.

Close to two-thirds of Long's contributions, $66,000 came from political action committees including the following:

Monsanto

Ameren

At the end of the reporting period, Long had $673,720.10 in his campaign account.
