Good to see Indiana freshmen congressmen are getting in on the vote buying earmarks:
Freshman Congressmen Joe Donnelly and Brad Ellsworth of Indiana have obtained half- million-dollar grants for pet projects in their home districts.They were part of the 377 earmarks totaling 153 million dollars approved by the House Appropriations Committee Thursday.Earmarks were cut in half this year, but Democrats agreed to some requests by freshmen lawmakers facing potentially difficult re-election campaigns.
