Mesa, Arizona,
Nov 1 -
Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, today highlighted a pork project contained in the Transportation-Treasury-HUD appropriations bill for fiscal year 2006.
This week’s egregious earmark: $250,000 to the city of Joplin, Missouri for the renovation of center downtown district.
“Earmark’s just another word for nothing left to spend,” said Flake.
