It's also unbelievable that he is charging $15 to attend his one town hall event in his district this summer on September 6. Why would an elected official be charging his constituents to attend such a meeting? Is that even legal?

of course it's legal.
they call them *fundraisers*, unless you're trying to score some kind of points, then you call them *town hall style* meetings, and bang on the offending pol for having the effrontery to charge admission.
like this....
barney frank had a *town hall style* meeting with wall street brokers, and charged a minimum $1000/head up to over $5000.

oh, the humanity!
Barney Frank had a fundraiser.
15 buck is NOT a fundraiser. Especially not for someone of Ryan's stature. It's laughable to even suggest it. And if there were any food, plus paying for the hall, would that leave him with more than 50 cents a person?
Oh Wow, I had such a great fundraiser. Bet I got a hundred bucks. Or close.
let's see, it takes in money (funds) and keeps them.
yup, that's a fundraiser.
not as grandiose as barney's, but a fundraiser nonetheless. you can insist it's not, but that would be stupid.
i guess you'll continue to insist, huh?
