West Virginia's new Senator may not have a pot to piss in anymore but that hasn't stopped him from travelling in style.

Most days before the Senate starts its day, a privately-owned Cessna Citation V jet lands at Washington Reagan National Airport.
And most evenings, after the chamber is done with its business, the same jet takes off for Greenbrier Valley Airport in Lewisburg, W.Va.
On that plane is newly elected Sen. Jim Justice (R-W.Va.).
Justice has been commuting to D.C. from his home in the Mountain State nearly every day, cutting what would be a four-hour drive to a 40-minute flight. Justice owns the famed Greenbrier resort, only 15 minutes from the airport.
Punchbowl then listed the flights, with Justice explaining his largesse that he hasn't found a place to live in Washington yet. Understandable if Justice were still rich, but according to Forbes, Jim Justice is now one of the poorest members of Congress, from a billionaire to a pauper and is now, at least on paper, broke.
