Pork, pie and other priorities
"But once the pie has been set, let's go get our slice."In a story about local U.S. Rep. John Boehner's "no pork" pledge, some Butler County commissioners say they, and by extension those who live in Butler County, aren't getting their fair share of the helpings that Washington dishes out. Where pie is concerned, I've always been interested in having a slice. At least try some. Especially when it's money that is supposed to be used on projects that benefit the public good.
I honestly don't remember that much about the campaign, but this would seem to be a good thing to get voters to talk about in 21 months when election time rolls around again. Assuming anyone remembers by then.
Wes has his own take, urging more help with roads. Well, he just says "well-planned and well-maintained infrastructure," so maybe he's talking about revamping the bus system.

I'll hopefully put something together on the bus situation soon. Between the holidays, some kinda tendinitis in my thumb, and watching Cincinnatians prepare for The White Death From The Sky this week, it's been a little crazy here in my Secret Underground Lair.
