Also worth noting: the analysis shows Rep. Darrell Issa (with a $464 million fortune) is triumphantly back at the top of the list of wealthiest members, a spot the California Republican and car-alarm mogul had enjoyed for years, before being bumped by Rep. Mike McCaul (R-Texas).
Don’t worry about having to spring for McCaul’s lunch, though. His dip in value was due to a change in reporting rules for spouse’s assets (his wife is the daughter of Clear Channel Communications Chairman Lowry Mays.)
Now, who wants to talk minimum wage?
