Earmarks for his state. He is insisting the RFP for a big contract be tweaked so Airbus can win it, thereby giving his state the ability to make the parts. A huge boon for his state. Will any Republicans come out against this earmark grab before the Dems do? It would be smart politics for them to do so. There’s also a 2nd earmark he wants for his state but I forget what it is.

I think the second was for some expansion of an Army base in Alabama.

I think it's pretty telling that he used to be a Democrat because this sounds exactly like something a Democrat would do.
