Be out there saying that these were BOUGHT Republicans.
May not be bought but threatened...I looked into the DFAS today....Notice they tried to eliminate the Maine program in the past. Have recently started a pilot program for transportation. And have awarded Evan Bayh for not turning against the party with these projects...It’s play to get pay the government way.

For Immediate Release Bayh Announces 800 Jobs Coming to Indy DFAS Center
Contact: Dan Pfeiffer (202) 224-6807 / (202) 224-4598 December 15, 2005
Washington, D.C. - U.S. Senator Evan Bayh today announced that the Defense
Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) has decided to send 800 jobs to the
Indianapolis DFAS Center as part of the on- going Base Re-Alignment and
Closure (BRAC) process, the most jobs any center will receive nationwide
through this process.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Corporate Communications has embarked on a treasure hunt of sorts – rummaging through warehouses, attics, and other imaginable and unimaginable places in search of artifacts to be put on display in a new Defense Finance and Accounting Service museum that will be created in Indianapolis Maj. Gen. Emmett J. Bean Federal Center.
With the closing and consolidation of numerous DFAS sites under the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure Act, former DFAS Director Zack Gaddy asked Corporate Communications to develop a plan for a museum. The intent is to preserve the history of DFAS before it is lost.
The new museum will house memorabilia, photographs and documents from Army, Navy and Air Force finance commands whose functions have since been assumed by various DFAS sites, as well as the agency that was created in 1991. It is tentatively planned to open in late spring 2009.
