Fiber fiasco – House to spend $642,000 on new carpet
After spending more than $325,000 on renovations in the past year, and abandoning plans to spend another $2 million on renovations, the House of Representatives is undergoing another facelift – this time to the tune of $642,000.

As promised, no gym in the basement
Gowan is spending another $642,000 on carpet in the House, according to records provided by the chamber. The speaker is putting in new carpet on the first, second and third levels. The new carpet will also be installed on the House floor and members’ lounge, replacing the almost-new carpet Gowan installed in those areas after being elected speaker late last year.
