But until this is done, I don&#39;t think you can fault representatives with the power for doing it. What&#39;s the alternative? Let tax dollars flow from their districts to other people who don&#39;t mind playing this game?POPAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00558836541249077077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-65355086578561050332009-09-09T12:58:03.951-05:002009-09-09T12:58:03.951-05:00I&#39;m told that under &quot;new&quot; rules set in place since the PMA scandal broke, lawmakers are pushing earmark dollars to public entities or universities. This may sound nice on the surface, but some of these universities are in working relationships with members of the list of companies you provided, using the earmark money. <br /><br />Probably just an end around to do the same thing, but make it look more kosher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10848952073180198356noreply@blogger.com
