re: #676 lawhawk
If the spending is in your district, it’s to meet a vital community need and essential for economic development, social programs, and/or key infrastructure development.
When it is someone else’s district, it’s porkbarrel spending at its worst
exactly
And thats why the battle cry every year of THROW THEM ALL OUT fails because theres always the caveat “but not MY guy ,,, HE’s doing a good job!!”
