Congress Leaves Gifts for Special Interests
Congress adjourned for the year after approving spending measures that shield narrow interests with millions in benefits. Projects include 10 million for flood-prone area work near Sacramento, 30 million for Pennsylvania water and sewer systems, funds for Hawaii and Alaska, and a shrimp study in Arizona. A mackerel and herring trawler block was also tucked into the bills. Critics call it pork barrel politics while Republicans defend the practice as familiar bipartisan patronage. Senator John McCain criticizes the reversal of pledges to stop such wasteful spending.
