Congressman loans out his home

I’m not a big fan of a number of Chet Edward’s politics, but I’m a huge fan of this:

The Texas Home of Waco Rep. (and former Belton Rep) Chet Edwards sat unused much of the time.

It doesn’t now. He has turned it over to a family that fled Hurricane Katrina.

“I wouldn’t be able to sleep knowing we had a vacant home in Waco, where there were children of evacuees,”; said Mr. Edwards, an eight-term Democrat whose wife, Lea Ann, suggested loaning out their three-bedroom house since they and their two kids spend the school year in Washington.
