In 2005, Rep. Don Young (R-AK)waited until after the House and Senate passed a bill, but before the president signed it, to forge a passage granting $10 million for an interstate in Florida. His new wording targeted the money to a more specific project to connect Coconut Rd to that interstate. It's a boon for developer Daniel Aronoff, who held a $40,000 fundraiser for Young just before the earmark appeared. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago tags congress young house senate earmark florida |

The Senate gave final approval on Wednesday to a major expansion of the government’s surveillance powers, handing President Bush one more victory in a series of hard-fought clashes with Democrats over national security issues. As most of you may know, I am a huge Obama fan and am saddened to see him voting in support of this (even though he said he wouldn't). picked by theclansman 2 months ago 3 comments edit related share politics |
