San Francisco is a high-rent city. Just ask Nancy Pelosi.
The House Speaker's district office in the new federal building in San Francisco costs a whopping $18,736 a month -- the highest rental paid by any member of the House -- or, more precisely, the highest rental paid by taxpayers on behalf of a member of the House. The rental price was reported by Roll Call on Monday.
The Democratic congresswoman moved last fall from her old office in the Burton Federal Building, which she occupied for 20 years, to a "greener" space in the city's new federal building -- a move and a high price that her spokesman, Drew Hammill, says was amply justified.

Don't forget to mention the G-4 jets she requested...
Pelosi is another one who needs to be replaced. She needs to live on a salary most of us have to and see how she fares then - the old saying "if you've got it, flaunt it", really applies to her cause she sure knows how to flaunt it - even if it is taxpayers $$.
if she needs additional security then she must be afraid of her constituants. as well she should be. she screws us all but we dont get kissed. (thank goodness). i would probably barf if that witch tried to kiss me. thanks sjd
