Thanksgiving Day Edition
Mesa, Arizona,
Nov 24 -
Republican Congressman Jeff Flake, who represents Arizona’s Sixth District, today highlighted a pork project contained in the agriculture appropriations bill for fiscal year 2010.
This week’s egregious earmark: $500,000 for the National Wild Turkey Federation in Nebraska.
“No thanks on the pork, but could you please pass the earmark reform?” said Flake.
