"But I grew up during hard times, and a dollar means a lot to me. I know every penny I get comes from hardworking taxpayers." He said he spends money prudently, "so I won't be ashamed of what I've done. That did not start recently." One of Edwards' most expensive trips was taken Nov. 11, 1989, to attend a oneday conference in Washington. The trip cost $810. He spent $62 for ground transportation, $156 for one night at the Madison Hotel, $554 for air fare and $38 for meals with congressional officials, records show. Edwards' office spends money from two accounts: one funded with tax dollars and the other funded with money from physician fees.

The office spent about $95,000 of that on meals and to entertain members of university boards and councils, students and prospective faculty. Other than salaries, the largest expense is for meals served to guests of the university. Jones said the expense is justified. "We are proud of what the university is doing, and the best way to show what the university is doing is to bring people to the t^mpus. When you do that, you want to be hospitable, he said.
