"City Slickers," also revealed that ABC News anchor Sam Donaldson, owner of a sheep and angora ranch in New Mexico, has received $97,000 in wool and mohair subsidy payments over the last two years. Donaldson lives in McLean, Virginia just outside Washington, D.C.
NJ, The Garden PAVED State.
Subsidies? Firgitaboutit.
Before Christie Whitman became Governor of New Jersey, she was getting farm assessment allowing extremely low property taxes on her estate because she harvested firewood to sell.
Did you hear about that truck that had over 5.3 million in the cab? It has been on the radio and I posted it this morning.
Money went right into the rat hole (general fund).
Even though it is 'under investigation'.
I can't help but wonder if that was a deposit that got around the wire transfer and explaination of monies.
In some cases, more than one person received a subsidy for the same piece of land.
This would not be unusual if it was crop shared.
That's pretty funny, I believe within Passaic county there are 3 active farms left. All the old farming families moved to south Jersey or Upstate New York, depending what they grow.
No mas! Viva Bush!
Good for New Jersey!
New Jersey gets less than 60 cents back from the federal government for every dollar it sends in. If some citizens found a way to hop on the gravy train that keeps Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, and Kansas so fat and happy on NJ money they should be commended for their good work.
