Congress Brings Home the Christmas Pork to Constituents
The massive spending bill approved by Congress funds hundreds of local projects and big programs including 750000 to refurbish the Turner Joy, 213000 for Marin County cancer study, 6 million for a Baker School of Government, and language for water rights for the Colorado Ute tribes. It also creates the Delta Regional Authority to assist poor Mississippi Delta communities and frees 353 million for F 22 parts. The Idaho jazz archive receives 700000 to digitize its famous collection featuring Lionel Hampton Ella Fitzgerald Dizzy Gillespie Stan Kenton. Critics call some spending pork while supporters insist the projects serve national interest.
