Bad Legislation Nuggets Highlight Pork in Last Minute Bill
Molly Ivins laments a massive late bill packed with pork and controversial riders. She cites tax breaks for turkey ranchers, caffeinated gum research grants, expanded duck season, tighter truck safety rules reversed by donors, Star Wars funding, and barrier island development aided by flood insurance. She notes nine billion more for weapons, a Dole Institute grant, and a needle exchange ban. Ivins urges open, principled legislation.
