will an expense report bring down at least one U.S. congressperson in 2009?

Settled as No

Background: http://cnnwire.blogs.cnn.com/2009/06/03/pelosi-pushes-to-put-house-expense-reports-online/

with all the chaos across the pond concerning elected officials' improper use of taxpayer money, nancy pelosi is pushing to put the House of Representatives expense reports online. are our elected officials any better or will we have the same results here?

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source. at least one member of congress(senator or representative) must resign or retire. this will include anyone who says that they will not run again in the next election. will settle as yes if "retirement" occurs after a report about misuse of funds, even if the released statement does not specifically mention said misuse. DOES NOT require online publication...can be the result of simple "investigative journalism" by media as well
