Does anyone know who the Richest people in Congress are?
I'm just wondering. I'm pretty sure though, Sen. Kerry is the richest with that Heinz fortune- $750 million. Anyone know who else is the richest of Congress?

1. That would be a helpful list to have this fall.
And how can we get a handle on who has gotten much richer since going to congress?

2. The"Heinz fortune"is in a trust. Not accessible to Kerry. Not part of his
assets.
