Full time use of a city car, including use of the vehicle to and from work, and $10,000 in re-location expense reimbursement.

A report is bringing to light a new claim involving Western New York Congressman Chris Collins.
According to C-N-B-C, Collins used campaign funds to pay his legal bills. It’s not illegal, but what’s not clear is if donors knew what their money was being used for.
Collins, his son and the father of his son’s fiancée pleaded not guilty Wednesday to federal charges of insider trading.
Collins has denied any wrongdoing and vows remain in the race for re-election this November.
