The Toledo Blade reports that the Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich was thrilled to spend more of your money on pork. This time, the "deficit hawk" secured $200,000 for a "weed and seed" program in Toledo. Basically, this program funds police (what are local taxes for again?) to "weed out" the criminal element while a community program "seeds" the area with prevention, treatment, and neighborhood restoration strategies. That sounds like a federal priority to me... Certainly more important than securing our borders, indeed.UPDATE: More "Deficit Hawking" from the Crying Man, our Senator RINOvich. This time he wants funding to have a commission "study" whether or not our critical infrastructure like roads and bridges are deteriorating. Hillary Clinton is a co-sponsor of the bill... Here is a better idea, Senator, instead of "studying" the problem, why not spend the money to fix it? Although, I have to say, our children and grandchildren are going to be footing the bill for that... Maybe you are right, George, just talking about it makes much more sense.
