John Thune: “We have a long ways to go to get Russia up to the standards they need to meet.”

It’s a great message. I like the message. But it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars.

It's a pretty simple measure, but an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.

I worry about that, for sure.
