Said the congressperson...Washington Post headline:
Congressional earmarks sometimes used to fund projects near lawmakers' properties
Thirty-three members of Congress have directed more than $300 million in earmarks and other spending provisions to dozens of public projects that are next to or within about two miles of the lawmakers’ own property, according to a Washington Post investigation.
Even Carol the Cynic was shocked by this story. Unbelievable.
