Some things never change. Porky Pig = Gov't legislation
Among just a few of the pork items:
$100 million in Pennsyl. for land redevelopment for casino
$6 million in snowmaking funds for ski resort in Minnesota
$13 million for neon signs in Vegas
$30 million for tennis courts
$110 million to renovate municipal golf courses
$6 million to heat a swimming pool in Maui
$1.5 million to eliminate prostitution in Dayton, OH
This is just a very small sample...possibly the single, largest load of pork in US history with this package.
Is there a such thing as good pork? I have a hard time understanding how heating a swimming pool creates enough jobs to justify $6 million in taxpayer money.
