Congress celebrates the Year of the Golden Pig
2007 is the year of the golden pig on the Chinese calendar. See how Congress is celebrating:
- Federal government would pay 65% of “costly endeavor” to make a river that flows upstream in California
- $50 million in earmarks produces “the most high-tech movable bridge in the U.S.” for Florida’s Treasure Island
- $250,000 earmark for Alabama community “to promote a more pedestrian feel”
- No doctors at federally funded health clinic
- Inquiry over potential conflicts of interests with recipients of government financing has shifted to former Congressional aide
- GOP hits Democrats for failure on earmarks
