Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, today highlighted a pork project contained in the House Transportation-HUD Appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008.
This week’s egregious earmark: $250,000 for the Oak Ridge Cemetery in Springfield, Illinois.
“This is not a fiscally responsible undertaking,” said Flake.
