The University of Georgia Athletic Association flew GOP U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Athens to New Orleans for New Year's Eve.

And Republican U.S. Rep. John Linder of Duluth made considerably less money on the "The Fair Tax Book" in 2007 than the previous year, according to his financial disclosure.

[Post comments below.]

Members of the U.S. House and Senate are required to file personal financial disclosures every year. The latest filings, which cover 2007, were made available for public inspection at the U.S. Capitol this week. The reports indicate that the basic financial status of 10 of Georgia's 13 congressmen and two senators changed little from the previous year.

Savannah U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston, Rep. Lynn Westmoreland of Grantville and Marietta Rep. Phil Gingrey, all Republicans, have not turned in their reports and have been given extensions on filing them, according to aides.

Among other things, the filings include stock sales and purchases, interest income, rent collections and debts. But they provide an imprecise picture of the finances of congresspersons and senators. The lawmakers' earnings are reported in broad ranges and not precise figures.

They don't list the $169,300 salaries earned by members of Congress. Nor do they include the salaries of spouses or list the values of their personal homes.
