Chuck's Stuff » News/Weather » Watchdog warns of wasteful spending
Dec. 24, 2009
A local lawmaker is supporting the postal service, with taxpayer dollars.
A new report shows that Appleton Congressman Steve Kagen spend more than $126,000 on taxpayer funded mailings during the first three-quarters of the year. That's $40,000 more than any other federal lawmaker from Wisconsin.
Todd Berry of the Wisconsin Taxpayers Alliance says that's a lot of money, but it's small potatoes when compared to other waste in the federal government. He says one earmark in a bill can cost tens of millions of dollars.
Berry says if people paid as much attention to that as they do the little things, the country would be in better financial shape. |
