"at the urging of his constituents and the president."
Why? For bringing the pork home! I wonder what percentage of the Highway funding bill goes to Chicago.
Republicans should not be porkers!!!!!!!!!!!
Umm I don't think it's the House that has the spending problem so much. And people, before you kneejerk accuse perfectly decent Republicans of porking, think about it. Chicago isn't even near Hastert's district silly. I live about 3 miles away from the edge of his district and visit places there often, and trust me when I say, if their is a lot of pork spending going there, you certainly don't see it!
