Washington, D.C.,
Jul 10, 2009 -
Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, today highlighted a pork project contained in the omnibus spending bill for fiscal year 2009.
This week’s egregious earmark: $475,000 for the creation of business incubators in Casper, Wyoming.
“Looks like earmark reform doesn’t have a ghost of a chance this year,” said Flake.
