"I'm not trying to be holier-than-thou,"
Edwards said. "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.

records show. The office spent about
$95,000 of that on meals and to entertain

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

'very good investment to get people to
