Kaptur criticized for "pork" projects

Tagged:  •    •    •    •    •  

Spending projects sponsored by Ohioans Sherrod Brown, George Voinovich, Marcy Kaptur, Dennis Kucinich and Ralph Regula made it into the latest incarnation of the Congressional Pig Book , the yearly compendium of pork projects released by Citizens Against Government Waste, a group that critiques government spending.

......

The group was also unimpressed with $5.5 million Kaptur secured in an Agriculture spending bill for such projects as Toledo's Center for Innovative Food Technology, and the Agriculture Research Service's wheat quality research operations in Wooster.

No, really...how many times will this same story run ? We get it, lotsa pork and Ohio.

Actually Kaptur's pork isn't the worst, most of the projects make some sense and will certainly create or maintain jobs for Ohioans.

I kinda like Marcy's pork.

Here's more info on the CAGW group.

I want the the guy who the Republican's are putting up against Marcy to come out and declare that in no shape or form will he bring a dollar back to Northwest Ohio...
