While tracking parallels in the second terms of Richard Nixon and George W. Bush, ran across this interesting little tid bit:
Soon after his reelection Nixon's popularity plummeted as the growing revelations of the Watergate affair indicated pervasive corruption in his administration, and
there was widespread criticism of the amount of government money spent on his private residences.

Several searches for data concerning how much the taxpayers have spent on improving and adding onto the Crawford "ranch" did not find anything.
Has anyone seen or know how to find information about how much the Federal Government has spent on improvements to the Bush property in Crawford, Texas?
It has to be substantial. At the beginning of his first term that place was not much more than a small three bedroom house. The total absence of video or photographs coming from "the ranch" that show any details raise the suspician there is something there Bush does not want to public to see.
Any FOI experts want to go fishing for the facts?
