“What we don’t support is the unintended consequence of giving unelected bureaucrats in federal agencies in Washington, DC a blank check and letting them decide whether or not to fund the economically-important dam safety, water quality, flood control, harbor maintenance and ecosystem restoration projects in our districts.”
Sounds reasonable.
The other side of this picture is pork barreling.
Donald is the Ideas Guy. He may be able to come up with a new way of addressing such issues. He will be wise to do so, being caught between the Scylla of this situation and the Charybdis of pork barreling.
Very reasonable. So don’t write vague over reaching laws and then delegate the whole mess to the executive branch. If you wish to regain control there is way do that with out engaging in Pork Barrel Spending. It is called legislation.
BTW. Where I live we fund and pay for our own flood control levy and dams. Id there some reason Rooney’s people cannot do like wise?
